Answer:

Final velocity of the combining cars = 10m/s

combined momentum = 40000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of both colliding cars = 2000kg

Initial Velocity of car 1 (U1) = 0

Initial Velocity of car 2 (U2) = 20m/s

Combuned momentum after collision =?

This is an inelastic collision which is calculated thus :

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V + M2V

M1U1 + M2U2 = (M1 + M2) V

Where V = "final Velocity of the colliding bodies

2000 × 0 + 2000 × 20 = (2000 + 2000) V

0 + 40000 = 4000V

V = 40000 / 4000

V = 10m/s

Therefore combined momentum = (M1 + M2) V

(2000 + 2000) 10

4000(10) = 40000kgm/s

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Elis [28]
A. Parallel circuit

Short circuits are circuits that is like plugging in a USB into your computer and the other end to your iPhone, so it's not D.

Series circuits can come in all kinds of different shapes, so it's not C.

Open circuits are circuits that are opened, meaning that whenever you turn on the light and it's an open circuit, it won't work cause the two wires are not connected, meaning it's not D.

Parallel circuits are circuits that are in one straight line, just like parallel lines, meaning the answer would be A. (Look at the picture and don't get confused with the other question that's the same question and has the same answers, they both have different pictures, so look at the pictures they give you whenever they ask the question so your getting the right answer)

Hope this helped.
