No, both the cars do not have the same velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity and it is the rate of change of displacement with time or change in speed with direction.

Velocity has both magnitude and direction. So when you are in a car going 70 km/h and another car goes in the opposite direction at 70 km/h their velocities are different. 

How?

Consider your car as moving in the positive direction, so its velocity will be 70 km/h and for the car moving in the opposite direction, since the direction is opposite, the velocity of that car will be -70 km/h. This is because, the velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. For one car, the direction is positive and for the other one the direction is negative.

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = \frac{4}{2} =2ohm [ proven as in series R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{e} }  = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

so,

\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

R_{e} = 1ohm

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 12 l when the applied pressure is 6.0 atm , find the pressure when the gas occupies a volu
dolphi86 [110]
From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant absolute temperature. 
Therefore; P1V1 =P2V2; where PV is a constant
hence; 12 × 6 = 3× p2
           p2 = 72/3
                = 24 atm
Therefore; the new pressure will be 24 atm

What is another name for kidney stones?
Naddika [18.5K]

Another (slightly more technical) name for kidney stones is "renal calculus".

I know this because we have met many times, and we are old friends.
