Answer:
B splits and goes through two components
Explanation:
- A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are all connected along the same branch: as a result, the current flowing through the components is the same, while the sum of the potential differences across each component is equal to the emf of the battery
- A parallel circuit is a circuit consisting of separate branches, so that each branch has a potential difference equal to the emf of the battery. As a result, in such a circuit the current in the circuit splits and goes through the different branches/components.
So, the correct answer is
B splits and goes through two components
<h2>Given that,</h2>
Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg
Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s
Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s
Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s
We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :

v₁ is the final speed of car X.

So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.
