This is not as simple as it looks.
What quantity are we going to compare between the two cases ?
Yes, I know ... the "amount of work". But how to find that from the
numbers given in the question ?
Is it the same as the change in speed ?
Well ? Is it ?
NO. IT's NOT.
In order to reduce the car's speed, the brakes have to absorb
the KINETIC ENERGY, and THAT changes in proportion to
the SQUARE of the speed. ( KE = 1/2 m V² )
Case 'A' :
The car initially has (1/2 m) (100²)
= (1/2m) x 10,000 units of KE.
It slows down to (1/2 m) x (70²)
= (1/2m) x 4,900 units of KE.
The brakes have absorbed (10,000 - 4,900) = 5,100 units of KE.
Case 'B' :
The car initially has (1/2 m) (79²)
= (1/2m) x 6,241 units of KE.
It slows down to a stop . . . NO kinetic energy.
The brakes have absorbed all 6,241 units of KE.
Just as we suspected when we first read the problem,
the brakes do more work in Case-B, bringing the car
to a stop from 79, than they do when slowing the car
from 100 to 70 .
But when we first read the problem and formed that
snap impression, we did it for the wrong reason.
Here, I'll demonstrate:
Change Case-B. Make it "from 70 km/h to a stop".
Here's the new change in kinetic energy for Case-B:
The car initially has (1/2 m) (70²)
= (1/2m) x 4,900 units of KE.
It slows down to a stop . . . NO kinetic energy.
The brakes have absorbed all 4,900 units of KE.
-- To slow from 100 to 70, the brakes absorbed 5,100 units of KE.
-- Then, to slow the whole rest of the way from 70 to a stop,
the brakes absorbed only 4,900 units of KE.
-- The brakes did more work to slow the car the first 30 km/hr
than to slow it the whole remaining 70 km/hr.
That's why you can't just say that the bigger change in speed
requires the greater amount of work.
______________________________________
It works exactly the same in the opposite direction, too.
It takes less energy from the engine to accelerate the car
from rest to 70 km/hr than it takes to accelerate it the
next 30, to 100 km/hr !
Answer:
It is possible to determine whether they are or not.
Explanation:
For the particular case in which both are magnets it will tend to happen that the magnets by their magnetic field will try to repel each other. Which would allow to identify and corroborate that both are magnets.
In the case where one of them is magneto and the other is not, the magnet will tend to attract it, regardless of how the object of metallic material is rotated.
In the case that it is not of a ferrous material, the magnet will simply do nothing.
Answer:
You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration. An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing. Even things that appear to be at rest move.

Explanation:
Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine for the steam exiting the tank: (a) the mass flow rate, in kg/s. (b) the temperature, in °C.
The solution is shown in the picture below
Answer:
225 N
Explanation:
"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.
Draw a free body diagram of the box. There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.
Sum of forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
N − mg − F sin θ = 0
N = F sin θ + mg
Plug in values:
N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)
N = 225 N
