The key is in "they lock together". This tells you this is a complete inelastic collision and therefore you can use the formula:
m1*v1+m2*v2=v(m1+m2)
Plug in numbers:
2000*3+2000*2=v(2000+2000)
so v=2 m/s, obviously in the same direction of motion in which they were both moving.

The legend is that he discovered gravity when an apple feel on his head. I don’t know what the true story is, but that’s what I’ve heard so maybe A??
Although, I’m pretty sure it could also be C
So... between A and C, however, I don’t want you to get it wrong so I would recommend getting another opinion
Hope this helps!

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Explanation:

Electrical Energy is stored in charged particles due to the variations in positions of charged particles inside the atom particles. Electrical energy is the flow of charges inside atom which causes energy to flow.

It is also defined as electric potential which causes the charge to flow inside the atom or inside a closed path or in a closed circuit.

From the above said word here we conclude that electrical energy is stored in charges due to the changing positions of charged particles.

A certain electric furnace consumes 24 kw when it is connected to a 240-v line. what is the resistance of the furnace?
weeeeeb [17]

One very handy electrical formula is

Power dissipated by a resistance = (Voltage)²/(resistance) .

24 kilowatts = (240 v)² / Resistance

Multiply each side by (Resistance):

(Resistance) x (24 kilowatts) = (240 v)²

Divide each side by (24 kilowatts):

Resistance = (240 v)² / (24,000 watts)

Resistance = (57,600 / 24,000) (volt² / volt · Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 (volt/Amp)

Resistance = 2.4 Ohms
