Chapter 27.2, Problem 27.3QQ
With the switch in the circuit of Figure 27.6a open, there is no current in R2. There is current in R1, however, and it is measured with the ammeter at the right side of the circuit. If the switch is closed (Fig. 27.6b), there is current in R2. What happens to the reading on the ammeter when the switch is closed? (a) The reading increases. (b) The reading decreases. (c) The reading does not change.
Figure 27.6 (Quick Quiz 27.3) What happens when the switch is closed?

In the movie Fast X, a 10100 kg round bomb is set rolling in Rome. The bomb gets up to 17.6 m/s. To try to stop the bomb, the protagonist Dom swings the counterweight of a crane, which has a mass of 354000 kg into the bomb at 3.61 m/s in the opposite direction. Directly after the collision the crane counterweight continues in the same direction it was going at 2.13 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bomb right after the collision?
