Which requires the most amount of work by breaks of a car?

Physics

The answer is not 'A'.
Using the numbers given in the question, it's 'B'.

It WOULD be 'A' if the number in B were 71 or less.
________________________________

<span>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 71 km/h to a stop".

Here's the new change in kinetic energy for Case-B:

The car initially has (1/2 m) (71²)
                             = (1/2m) x             5,041 units of KE.
It slows down to a stop . . . NO kinetic energy.
The brakes have absorbed all  5,041  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 71 to a stop,
the brakes absorbed only 5,041 units of KE.

-- The brakes did more work to slow the car the first 30 km/hr
than to slow it to a complete stop from 71 km/hr or less.

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 !</span>

(The exact break-even speed for this problem is  50√2 km/h,
or  70.711... km/hr rounded. )

What two factors determine how bright a star appears to be in the sky?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the  material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the   brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

When a hailstone is at a height of 2.00km it’s mass is 2.50g what is it’s potential energy?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

EP = 49.05Joules (J)

Explanation:

The equation for Potential energy (EP) is

EP = m g h

We are given the values below (do convert them into SI units)

m = 0.0025kg

h = 2000m

g = 9.81m/s^{2}

Substitute the values into the equation and solve for EP

EP = 0.0025 * 2000 * 9.81

EP = 49.05Joules (J)
