Work-Energy Theorem: Three cars (car L, car M, and car N) are moving with the same speed and slam on their brakes. The most massive car is car L, and the least massive is car N. If the tires of all three cars have identical coefficients of kinetic friction with the road surface, for which car is the amount of work done by friction in stopping it the greatest?
A. The amount of work done by friction is the same for all cars. B. Car L C. Car M D. Car N

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that four of your neighbors are all mowing their lawns using identical "Super-Silent" mowers
When they are each 20 m from your open bedroom window, what is the intensity level of the sound in your bedroom? You can neglect any absorption, reflection, or interference of the sound. The lowest detectable intensity is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2. A) 80 dB B) 104 dB C) 400 dB D) 50 dB E) 40 dB
