Answer:

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Explanation:

In this case we see that driver use the brakes to stop the car by means of kinetic friction force. Deceleration of the car is directly proportional to kinetic friction coefficient and can be determined by Second Newton's Law:

\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a (Eq. 1)

\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g = 0 (Eq. 2)

After quick handling, we get that deceleration experimented by the car is equal to:

a = -\mu_{k}\cdot g (Eq. 3)

Where:

a - Deceleration of the car, measured in meters per square second.

\mu_{k} - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that \mu_{k} = 0.0735 and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then deceleration of the car is:

a = -(0.0735)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The stopping distance of the car (\Delta s), measured in meters, is determined from the following kinematic expression:

\Delta s = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a} (Eq. 4)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

If we know that v_{o} = 15.9\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} and a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, stopping distance of the car is:

\Delta s = \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(15.9\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

\Delta s = 175.319\,m

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

The answer is : B. The compass will spin exactly 360 Degrees

Compass will point out to the earth's magnetic field. If we change the direction of the current , we created an effect which make the compass detect the magnetic field in the exact opposite direction, that is why it will flip exactly 180 degrees
