Constant Acceleration Kinematics: A car is traveling with a constant speed of 30.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with a constant acceleration. The car comes to a stop in a distance of 120 m. What was the acceleration of the car as it slowed down?

A. 3.75 m/s2
B. 4.00 m/s2
C. 4.25 m/s2
D. 4.50 m/s2
E. 4.75 m/s2

The electric potential at two points in space is: V1 = 200 volts and V2 = 300 volts. Which of the following statements is true for moving a point charge q from point 1 to 2?

A. The work done by an external agent to move q from point 1 to 2 is positive. B. We can't determine the work done because we don't know the direction of V at the two points. C. The work done by the electric force exerted on q in moving it from point 1 to 2 is W = –q(100 V).

If Planck's constant were smaller than it is, would this affect the sizes of atoms?

A) No, because atomic orbits do not exhibit quantum uncertainties. B) No, because the sizes of atoms are determined by the electromagnetic force acting between the nucleus and the electrons and this force is not affected by quantum phenomena. C) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be larger. D) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are because the electromagnetic force would be weaker. E) Yes, atoms would then be smaller than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be smaller.
