Answer:
<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>
Answer:
a. 
b.
must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c.
is the time taken to stop after braking
Explanation:
Given:
- speed of leading car,

- speed of lagging car,

- distance between the cars,

- deceleration of the leading car after braking,

a.
Time taken by the car to stop:

where:
, final velocity after braking
time taken


b.
using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

where:
final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0
acceleration of the chasing car after braking

must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c.
time taken by the chasing car to stop:


is the time taken to stop after braking
Thermal energy is converted to radiative energy via molecular collisions and released as photons.
I could be wrong but I believe it’s 1/2
