Answer:

1. P⃗ A,i+P⃗ B,i=P⃗ A,f+P⃗ B,f

Explanation:

Collision occurs when two bodies moving at different velocities exert force on each other through colliding. Collision can either be elastic or inelastic.

For elastic collision, both energy and momentum of the bodies is conserved i.e they separates after collision.

For inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved but not energy. The body sticks together after colliding and moves with a common velocity.

According law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum or momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision.

Given two bumper cars A and B that undergoes collision during which momentum is conserved, the type of collision that exists between the bumpers is inelastic collision

.

If initial momentum of A is PiA and initial momentum of B is PiB, the sum of their momentum before collision is expressed as;

PiA + PiB ... (1)

If final momentum of A is PfA and initial momentum of B is PfB, the sum of their momentum after collision is expressed as;

PfA+PfB ... (2)

According to the law, equation 1 is equal to equation 2

The fore the formula that states the law is expressed as;

PiA + PiB = PfA+PfB

A 2000 kg car is driving at 5 m/s on wet asphalt, but then makes a turn on some ice and loses control. The driver applies brakes
lesya [120]

Answer:

10,000kgm/s

Explanation:

Since we not told what to look for, we can as well find the momentum of the car.

momentum = mas * velocity

Given

Mass of the car = 2000kg

velocity = 5m/s

Substitute into the formula

Momentum = 2000 * 5

Momentum = 10000kgm/s

Hence the momentum of the car is 10,000kgm/s

A monochromatic beam of light is absorbed by a collection of ground-state hydrogen atoms in such a way that three different wave
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

If the absorbed beam is monochromatic (one wavelength) then it excites the H atom to some state n.

When that state decays, some of the atoms may decay to state 1, others to state 2, and still others to state 3

The net energy emitted in such a case would depend on:

n -1, n - 2, n - 3 which would produce 3 different wavelengths
