Answer:

50 m/s opposite direction to the motion of the truck

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the law of conservation of momentum

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')...….. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the truck, u = initial velocity of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity after collision

Given: m = 2500 kg, u = 20 m/s, m' = 1000 kg, V = 0 m/s (both car stop after collision)

Substitute these values into equation 1

2500(20)+1000(u') = 0(2500+1000)

2500(20)+1000(u') = 0

Solve for u'

u' = -[2500(20)]/1000

u' = -50 m/s

The negative sign shows that the car travels in opposite direction to the truck

Hence the car initial velocity before collision is 50 m/s in opposite direction to the motion of the truck

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor
Kaylis [27]
<span>Data:

</span>R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?
<span>
Formula:

</span>U = R*i → i =  \frac{U}{R}<span>

Solving:

</span>i = \frac{U}{R}
i = \frac{12}{5}
\boxed{i = 2.4A}

Answer:

150c passes through cell in 30 seconds. cell has a potential difference of 12v. what is current in the circuit
zzz [600]

The current in the circuit is 5 A

Explanation:

The intensity of current is given by the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing through a given point of the circuit in a time interval of t

For the cell in this problem, we have

q = 150 C is the charge

t = 30 s is the time interval

Substituting into the equation, we f ind

I=\frac{150}{30}=5 A
