A. Speed up is the answer. Hope it is right.

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

Sound is a longitudinal wave. In longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Sound wave consists of compression and rarefaction.

It needs medium to travel. It can travel in solid, liquid and gas. Denser the medium, more will be the speed of the sound.

Sound wave travels faster in solid in comparison to liquid.

In the given problem, when traveling from air to a solid then the speed of the sound wave will speed up.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time.

This is sneaky. At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'. But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed). Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it. If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.

Answer:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ {v}^{2}_i = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(6)}^{2} + {( - 2)}^{2} = 36 + 4 = 40m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (40) = 60J \\ \\ {v}^{2}_f = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(8)}^{2} + {(4)}^{2} = 80m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (80) = 120J \\ W_{net}=K.E_f-K.E_i \\ = 120J - 60J \\ = 60J$
