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.

Show that 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h . Hint: Show the explicit steps involved in converting 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h.
sergiy2304 [10]

Just multiply the "1.0 m/s" by ' 1 ' a few times.  (Remember that a fraction with the same quantity on top and bottom is equal to ' 1 ' .)

(1.0 m/sec) · (1 km/1000 m) · (60 sec/min) · (60 min/hr) =

(1.0 · 60 · 60 / 1,000) (m · km · sec · min / sec · m · min · hr) =

(3,600 / 1,000) (km / hr) =

3.6 km/hr .

A uniform electric field of magnitude 4.6 ✕ 104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 3.0 m long. What is the electr
rodikova [14]

Answer:

41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C

Explanation:

given:

E= 4.6 * 10^4 N/C

electric field is 4.6 * 10^4 N/C and square sheet is perpendicular to electric field so, area of vector is parallel to electric field

then electric flux = ∫ E*n dA

                            = ∫ 4.6 * 10^4 * 3*3

                            = 41.4* 10^4 N.m^2/C
