A young girl is riding a bicycle that has a total mass (including the kid) of 21.2 kg. The girl is moving at 5.99 m/s on a flat road when suddenly she slams on the brakes and skids to a stop in 8.22 meters.
What was the magnitutde of the average force due to friction acting on the bicycle? Remeber, the magnitude of a force is always positive.
Assume a constant friction force measured in Newtons and 3 significant digits in your answer.
A 100 N net force acts right on a 20 kg object. Given the initial velocity of the object is 10 m/s left, find the velocity after the net force has acted for a time of 5 seconds.
Jenny and Betty are having a great time at Busch Gardens riding the Ubanga Banga bumper cars. Jenny, who is traveling southward in her bumper car, aims her car toward Betty, who is traveling northward in her bumper car. The cars collide and briefly come to a stop.
What is the direction of the force exerted on Jenny's car during the collision?
