Brakes stop a train in a distance $x$. If the braking force is reduced to one-fourth of its original value,what distance will the train travel before coming to a stop?

The potential energy of a $1 \ kg$ particle free to move along the $x-$axis is given by: $U(x) = (\frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{x^2}{2}) \ J$. The total mechanical energy of the particle is $2 \ J$. Then,the maximum speed (in $m/s$) is:

The kinetic energies of two similar cars $A$ and $B$ are $100 \ J$ and $225 \ J$ respectively. On applying brakes,car $A$ stops after $1000 \ m$ and car $B$ stops after $1500 \ m$. If $F_{A}$ and $F_{B}$ are the forces applied by the brakes on cars $A$ and $B$,respectively,then the ratio $F_{A} / F_{B}$ is:
