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.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ
