Explanation:
It represents the direction of flow of positive charge but is treated as a scalar quantity because current follows the laws of scalar addition and not the laws of vector addition. The angle between the wires carrying current does not affect the total current in the circuit.
To solve this problem, we use the equation:
<span>d = (v^2 - v0^2) /
2a</span>
where,
d = distance of collapse
v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s
v = final velocity = 0
a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2
d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)
<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
You use more significant figures. 5 sigfigs (1.0985) is more accurate than 2 sigfigs (1.0)
