The initial kinetic energy of the car is

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half:

so, the new kinetic energy is

So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
Answer:
It should be fibre optic cable , buried underground
More mass and less difference
Answer:
Travelled 18 km, they are 6 km from home.
Explanation:
12/2 (halfway) is 6km. So, 6 + 12 would be 18 km, total amount travelled. The total distance of the trip would be 24 km (12 km out, 12km back) if they travelled 12+6 (18km) then they only have 6 km more to go.
