Answer: Option C

Explanation: Let's do a heavy simplification.

The kinetic energy of the bus is K = (m/2)*v^2

Where m is the mass of the bus, and v is the velocity of the bus.

When the brakes are used, we can do a linear relationship that gives us the distance that the bus needs to come to a full stop, and this will depend on the kinetical energy that the buss had just right before, so the distance that the bus moves after slamming on the brakes is:

D = K/F = ((m/2)*v^2)/F

Where F depends on the effectiveness of the brakes, as bigger F is, faster the bus comes to a full stop.

Now, if we double the velocity; we have:

D' = ((m/2)*(2*v)^2)/F = ((m/2)*4*v^2)/F = 4*(((m/2)*v^2)/F) = 4*D

D' = 4D

So the distance is quadrupled, then the correct option is C

Answer:c. labor-intensive.

Explanation:labor intensive is a process where a larger portion of total costs is due to labor as compared with the portion for costs incurred in purchase, maintenance, and depreciation of capital equipment. Example are Agriculture, construction, and coal-mining.

Industries that produce goods or services requiring a large amount of labor. Traditionally, labor intensive industries were determined by the amount of capital needed to produce the goods and services.
