Recognizing the pieces is the easiest part of chess. And distinct symbolic forms are actually easier than representational forms like these. Similarly, iconic phonetic notation not a good replacement for the Latin alphabet

* It may be reasonable to assume the brakes produce the same force on both cars. With both cars weighing the same, this produces the same acceleration. Then the speeds decrease at the same rate, which means the faster car is going 100 - 70 = 30 kph when the slower car stops.
* The faster car must dissipate more energy to do this. We may assume that braking is limited by heat dissipation and that the brakes shed energy at the same rate. Then the answer is sqrt(100^2 - 70^2) ~ 71 kph.
Adding the obstacle:
* As noted in the text, brakes don't shed energy at the "same rate per unit distance". So the faster car hits the obstacle first, at greater speeds than above in each case. We aren't given the information required to calculate the stopping time or distance of the slower car, so the problem is underspecified.

In the '90s, people controlled their data and complained they didn't control their OS. Today, we hardly think about the OS because we've lost control of our data.
The George is closed and forgot;
Some changes are all for the better,
But Woolworth's is probably not.
This one does miss some important variables:
1. Dose-dependent effects
2. Naive vs experienced users of a drug
3. Novel vs familiar task
Though the authors spend a lot of time showing these stimulants reduce work efficiency, their central finding seems to be: "There was no significant effect of drug on performance"
Any reactor can fail and any can be operated safely. The reactivity coefficients of RBMK made it harder to control, perhaps, than a PWR. Modifications made after the Chernobyl accident have improved this.
The main issue with Chernobyl 4 was its lack of a containment building. Even so, the response was an over-reaction that made the situation worse.
