Terms nodes ,loop and branches which applied to the circuits

Click For Summary
Nodes in electrical circuits refer to points where two or more components connect, while loops are closed paths that allow current to flow. Branches represent individual components or paths between nodes. Kirchhoff's laws, which include the current law (KCL) and voltage law (KVL), are essential for analyzing these elements in circuits. Understanding these concepts is crucial for circuit analysis and design. For further clarification, the provided links offer detailed explanations of these terms in the context of Kirchhoff's laws.

HI everyone
I am confused by the terms nodes ,loop and branches which applied to the circuit.

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
