Answer:
<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy.
</em>
Explanation:
A moving car has kinetic energy.
It is given by the equation
Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.
According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop, the kinetic energy of the car gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.
Theoretically, 35 x 18 = 630
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.
There is approximately 2.54 cm that equals to 1 inch. So your closet answer would be the first choice. :)
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half:
so, the new kinetic energy is
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
