If they collide head on, the wreckage will remain at the point of impact (real world considerations aside).

What is a moving object that has a velocity vector and acceleration vector in the opposite direction?

This is a moving object that is slowing down.


When two object is move in opposite direction one will have positive and other have negative momentum why?

Momentum is defined as a vector quantity; this means that the direction matters. Only if it is defined as a vector quantity do you have something called "conservation of momentum", which makes it very interesting for physics.


What happens to forces moving in different direction?

When forces are moving in different directions, they can either cancel each other out if they are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, resulting in a net force of zero. If the forces are not equal, the object will experience a resultant force in the direction of the larger force. This resultant force will cause the object to accelerate in that direction according to Newton's second law of motion.


Can velocity and acceleration point in opposite direction?

Yes, velocity and acceleration can point in the opposite direction to each other. This is because neither one depends on the other. When velocity and acceleration are opposite each other this results in slowing down, for example when you hit the break on your car.


When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions?

When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions, it means that the object's speed is decreasing. This situation occurs when the acceleration is acting against the direction of motion, causing the object to slow down.

What is unequal forces pushing in opposite directions?

When unequal forces push in opposite directions on an object, the object will experience a net force in the direction of the stronger force. This can result in the object moving in the direction of the stronger force or experiencing a change in its state of motion.


Why do electron n positron move in opposite directions in pair production and how does momentum is conserved when they move in opposite directions?

They move in opposite directions when in a magnetic field because they have opposite charges. The force on a particle depends on its charge -- make the charge completely opposite, and the force on it will be completely opposite. Momentum is conserved when they move in opposite direction (that is, in their center of mass frame) because their respective masses are identical. One electron mass moving in one direction plus one electron mass moving in the opposite direction means a total momentum of zero. The system begins with zero momentum and ends that way.


White lines separate traffic traveling in opposite directions?

yes


Why does the LHC have two beams?

The "C" stands for "Collider" For something to collide there has to be a second something moving in a different direction to collide with. The contents of the two beams moving in opposite directions collide.

Which process is responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane?

The process responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane is called countertransport. This process utilizes the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of one solute to drive the movement of another solute in the opposite direction.

What do you think will give a greater damage a car hitting another moving car or car car hitting a steady car?

The amount of damage relates to the relative motion of the two cars. So, if the cars are moving in opposite directions when they collide, the relative motion and the resulting damage is greater; if they are moving in the same direction, then the relative motion and the resulting damage is less. A motionless car is intermediate between a car moving in the same direction and a car moving in an opposite direction.


Would a force have to be applied in the same or opposite direction to stop a moving ball?

The opposite direction. To stop a moving object requires an acceleration in the direction opposite its motion.
