The driver of a 3000 lb. car, coasting down a hill, sees a red light at the bottom, and must stop. His speed when he applies the brakes is 60 mph, and he is 100 feet (vertically) above the bottom of the hill. (a)How much energy as heat must be dissipated by the brakes if we neglect wind resistance and other frictional effects

Explanation:

60 mph = 60 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60) ft /s

speed of car , v = 88 ft /s

kinetic energy of car = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 3000 x 88²

= 11616 x 10³ poundal - foot

Potential energy = mgh

= 3000 x 32 x 100

=  9600 x 10³ poundal - foot

Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

= ( 11616 + 9600 )x 10³

= 21216 x 10³ poundal - foot .

This energy is dissipated as heat when brakes are applied on the car to stop the car .

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
