4. two remote controlled cars are traveling directly toward each same speed and they collide. what most likely happens next? a. both cars change speed and direction b. both cars stop immediately c. one car stops, but the other keeps moving in the same dire d. neither car changes speed or direction
Answer
Brief Explanations:
When two objects of equal mass (assuming the cars have equal mass as they have the same speed and are similar in nature) moving towards each other collide in a head - on collision, according to the law of conservation of momentum, they will experience equal and opposite forces. This causes both cars to change their speed and direction.
Answer:
A. Both cars change speed and direction
