How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

60 mph?
3. How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
4. Keeping in mind the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle, how can a driver best prepare to enter sharp curves in the roadway?

So the answers to your questions are the following:
#2 The Kinetic Energy is equals to the work done to stop. 
#3 The mass is directly proportional to the stopping distance of the car.
#4 Speed should be decrease in order the car to prepare on the sharp curves.
#5 It depends to the speed and acceleration of the car and also its inertia which would be affected by the sudden stop of the vehicles

What is transferred through sound waves?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Sound waves transfer energy by causing successive compressions and rarefactions in the particles of the medium without transporting the medium particles themselves. Sound in solids can also manifest as transverse waves, causing crests and troughs in the propagation medium.

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the
Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds
