The brakes of this car did approximately $\left(-1.1 \times 10^{6}\; \rm J\right)$ of work. (Rounded to two significant figures. Assumption: this car is moving horizontally, and that all the lost kinetic energy could be attributed to the braking force.)

Explanation:

Is the work of this braking force positive, zero, or negative?

The first step is to find out whether the work of the brakes on the car is greater than zero, smaller than zero, or equal to zero. That could be achieved by comparing:

the direction of this braking force, andthe direction in which the target of the braking force (i.e., the rest of the car) has moved.

In this example, the braking force constantly points backwards. On the other hand, the car kept moving forward (until it stopped.)

In other words, the braking force continuously points in the opposite direction of the motion of its target (the car) until the car came to a stop. Therefore, the work of that this braking force has done should be smaller than zero (i.e., negative.)

What is the magnitude of the work that this braking force has done?

Assume that this car is moving horizontally on level ground. Ideally, the amount of work that this braking force has done would be equal to the amount of kinetic energy that this car has lost.

Initial kinetic energy of this car:

$\begin{aligned}& \text{KE(initial)}\\ &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot {\left(v(\text{initial})\right)}^{2}\\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 2200\; \rm kg \times {\left(31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2} \\ &= 1.0571 \times 10^{6}\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Kinetic energy of this car after it came to a complete stop:

$\begin{aligned}\text{KE(final)}= 0\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

Kinetic energy that this car has lost: $1.0571\times 10^{6}\; \rm J$ .

That should be the same as the magnitude of the work that this braking force has done. However, because this work is smaller than zero, the actual value of this work would be $\left(-1.0571\times 10^{6}\; \rm J\right)$ .

In this question, both the mass and the initial speed of this car are specified with only two significant figures each. Hence, round the result accordingly and keep only two significant figures: $\left(-1.1\times 10^{6}\; \rm J\right)$ .

Texture and composition are different because they are not the same aspect. texture has to do with feel and so on, where as composition is the chemical makeup which you cant touch like you can texture.

In the nineteenth century, gregor mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all types of life. no observations have disproved these basic rules of genetics. charles darwin developed the idea of biological evolution around the same time, but he was unaware of mendel’s discoveries in genetics. over a century later, darwin’s idea of evolution was modified in order to incorporate mendel’s rules of genetics along with the other evidence that darwin had used. what is most likely the relationship between mendel’s rules of genetics and darwin’s idea of biological evolution? a.)mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.b.)biological evolution states laws that are part of mendel’s theory of genetics.c.)mendel’s genetics replaced darwin’s entire concept of biological evolution.d.)biological evolution is a law that explains why all genetics exist.
