Which statements about braking a car are true? A)The greater the kinetic energy of a car, the longer it takes for the car to sto
2 answers:
Answer:
option c
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is due to the speed of a body.
When speed is doubled, the kinetic energy is quadruple.
From third equation of motion, braking distance is also proportional to square of speed. Thus, when speed is doubled, the braking distance is quadruple.
Thus, option c is correct.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂ (1)
For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N
Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N
