It is "required" in the sense that an electron leaving a photo-electric metal "must" have a stopping potential. However, measuring the stopping potential -- the size of the voltage that will perfectly match the energy of such an electron -- gives results that can only be explained by the existence of photons.

How much potential stopping power does the front brake supply on a motocross bike?

65 to 70 % depending on the type of pad material (late models only) Frt brakes are for stopping, rear brakes are for slowing.


What is the overall stopping distance of a car travelling at 100km an hour?

you're a tool. dependant upon inertia, stopping surface, braking potential, weight. lots of factors. a car may have ABS or not. this affects the final distance


How does light intensity affect the stopping potential?

It doesn't, from the equation E = h*f (E is energy, h is Planck's constant, f is frequency) you can clearly see that energy is a function of frequency, not amplitude (intensity). Therefore, it doesn't even matter what the relationship between stopping potential and energy is, because it will only depend on frequency, which is sufficient knowledge to answer this question.


Is ringing in the ears a potential side effect of quitting smoking?

Generally not. If ringing in the ears has occurred at the same time as stopping smoking, this is more likely to be concidental than not.

Why are kenetic and potential energies the same?

they are not the same. kinetic energy is energe that an object has due to its motion. potential energy is stored and held in the readiness. for example kinetic energy would be like a bowling ball knocking over bowling pins. unlike kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, potential energy is stored and may be used later on like a car stopping at a red light.


Does friction affect stopping distance?

Yes, friction affects stopping distance. The greater the friction the lower the stopping distance; the lower the friction the greater the stopping distance.


On a Motocross bike the front brake supplies how much of the potential stopping power?

between 60 - 75%. Depends on how much weight is biased toward the front wheel and how much brake pressure is applied.
