B) friction causes the heat, but is also the force that stops the car from crashing!
The pads, disc, drum, etc. of the brake system are designed to absorb most of the heat produced from the friction of braking.

When red light and green lights shine on the same place on a piece of white paper, the spot appears to be Yellow in color. Complementary colors are always located directly across from each other on the graphic. For example cyan is located across from red, magenta across from green, and yellow across from blue. When primary color mix the produce secondary colors , for example a red light and a green light will combine to form a yellow color. The production of various colors of light by the mixing of the three primary colors of light is known as color addition.

A proton is trapped in a one-dimensional well that is 200 pm wide. What is the ground state energy of the proton, if the potenti
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

E=1.50\times 10^{-18}J

Explanation:

Energy of the one dimensional infinite well,

E=\frac{n^{2}h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

Given that, L=200 pm\\L=200\times 10^{-12}m

For the ground state n=1,

Therefore energy is,

E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34})^{2}}{8(9.1\times 10^{-31})(200\times 10^{-12}) ^{2} }\\E=1.50\times 10^{-18}J

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.
