OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it would be the 3rd one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, but how please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOU SEE that the three resistors are in parallel right?.. so voltage across all of them would be equal.. so you have to find what that voltage is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The voltage will be 10/7 * 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then what should i do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. now the voltage is same across all the resistors so using ohms law you will be able to find current across all the resistors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will the ammeter only measure the current from the 2 ohms resistor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

has to right!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i could solve it already, but now i got a doubt in Question 9... please help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its better if you could copy paste the question and open each one in a different forum.. instead of doing it this way :P.. its easier to keep track.. else everytime we have to click on the link and undergo the security check!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha this is the last doubt i have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A body of mass m, moving at velocity v, collides with a stationary body of the same mass and sticks to it. Which row describes the momentum and kinetic energy of the two bodies after the collision?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i saw it .. you tell me this.. if the two bodies stick together .. what will be the velocity of each one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They will have the same velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but how much!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummm... you tell me :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope :P.. ok tell me about momentum.. wat do you think will be the total final momentum of the two bodies together?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(v)m+m=2mv ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v(m+m)=2mv *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is something called as conservation of momentum .. remember? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so initial momentum of the whole system (the two balls together) was MV + 0 = MV hence after the collision also the total momentum must remain the same MV itself.. so now can you find their common velocity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the total mass after they stick togeter?!? TOTAL mASS??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and now you know that the momentum has to be mv so what shoudl be the velocity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5v ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just please solve it fully and show me, then i will try to understand by myself
