it look the same just to tell you

The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r"
The equation for kinetic energy is
E = 1/2MV^2.
So the energy for the system prior to collision is
0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5
The energy after the collision is
0.5rv^2
Setting the two equations equal to each other
0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2
r + 1 = rv^2
(r + 1)/r = v^2
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
The momentum prior to collision is
-1r + 1
Momentum after collision is
rv
Setting the equations equal to each other
rv = -1r + 1
rv +1r = 1
r(v+1) = 1
Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.
sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v
r(v+1) = 1
Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r.
r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1
r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1
r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r
r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2
r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2
r = 1 - 2r
3r = 1
r = 1/3
So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>
Answer:
They're going to increase the total resistance as 
Explanation:
If the resistors are in parallel, the potential difference is the same for each resistor. But the total current is the sum of the currents that pass through each of the resistors. Then
