Answer:

Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Superconductors are resistance free materials that enable (allow) <u>electricity conduction (i.e. electron transportation between atoms)</u>.

As the superconductor temperature is gradually lowered, eventually a Critical Temperature is reached, where the <u>superconductor electrical resistivity</u> suddenly drops to zero. Such drop is so fast, that can be described as a complete matter-phase transition. This is in contrast with typical conductors,<em> where with gradually decreasing temperature there is also a gradually decreasing resistivity (which is also true at temperatures of near absolute zero). </em>

Thus the correct answer is the Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

240000 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

The work that must be done by the frictional force of the brake to stop the car must be equal to the kinetic energy of the car.

W = mv²/2.................. Equation 1

Where W = work done by the frictional force of the brake, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car.

From the question,

Given: m = 1200 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1200×20²)/2

W = 240000 Joules
