A 2000kg car travelling at 10.0m/s collides with a 3000kg car that is initially a rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together and move 2.00m before friction cause them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels of both cars lock at the time of impact
7. Sally is driving at a constant speed of 25 m/s on a straight horizontal road. She sees an obstacle on the
road ahead and applies the brakes! The wheels lock causing the car to slide forward. If the coefficient of
kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.40, how long does it take the car to come to a complete
stop?
A drag racer crosses the finish line of a 400 m track with a final
speed of 104 m/s. (a) Assuming constant acceleration during the
race, calculate the racer's time and the minimum coefficient of
static friction between the tires and the road. (b) If, because of
bad tires or wet pavement, the acceleration were 30 % smaller,
calculate how long it takes to finish the race.

Why should you avoid slamming on your brakes when you want to stop in the shortest possible distance? (Newer cars have antilock brakes that avoid this problem.)arrow_forward
- You have been called as an expert witness for a trial in which a driver has been charged with speeding but is claiming innocence. He claims to have slammed on his brakes to avoid rear-ending another car, but tapped the back of the other car just as he came to rest. You have been hired by the prosecution to prove that the driver was indeed speeding. You have received data as follows from the police: Skid marks left by the driver are 56.0 m long and the roadway is level. Tires matching those on the car of the driver have been dragged over the same roadway to determine that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the roadway is 0.82 at all points along the skid mark. The speed limit on the road is 35 mi/h. Construct an argument to be used in court to show that the driver was indeed speeding.arrow_forwardInternal injuries in vehicular accidents may be due to what is called the “third collision.” The first collision is the vehicle hitting the external object. The second collision is the person hitting something on the inside of the car, such as the dashboard or windshield. This may cause external lacerations. The third collision, possibly the most damaging to the body, is when organs, such as the heart or brain, hit the ribcage, skull, or other confines of the body, bruising the tissues on the leading edge and tearing the organ from its supporting structures on the trailing edge. a. Why is there a third collision? In other words, why are the organs still moving after the second collision?b. If the vehicle was traveling at 60 mph before the first collision, would the organs be traveling faster than, equal to, or slower than 60 mph just before the third collision?arrow_forwardA truck tows a boat along a straight, flat highway at 55 mph.
