2200 kg car is driving down a highway at a constant velocity when a deer jumps out onto the road 50.5 m ahead. The coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road is 0.29. Calculate the initial velocity of the car if it is able to stop just before hitting the deer. (You do not need to account for reaction time of the driver. Assuming the car is breaking the entire 50.5 m distance and that friction is the only force stopping the car.) v0 = m/s

A 1700 kg car is driving down a highway at a constant velocity when a deer jumps out onto the road 59.6 m ahead. The coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road is 0.21.

Assuming the car is breaking the entire 59.6 m distance and that friction is the only force stopping the car.) v0 = m/s
A 2110 kg car traveling at 8.4 m/s collides with a 2730kg car that is initially at rest at the stoplight. The cars stick together and move 3.30 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and that all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

A basketball player of mass m=88.4 kg jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body d1=0.44 m, then he accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a speed sufficient to carry him d2=0.56 m above the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with which the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with wiich the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the acceleration, a, of the basketball player during the leg-straightening. Write an expression for the force upward force, FN, exerted on the basketball player by the floor during the leg straightening. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force FN while the player is straightening his legs?
An empty box is travelling on the conveyor with 0.2 m/s, then 12 kg package is dropped into this box with 1 m/s speed. When dropped, package and box are immediately sticked together. Friction coefficeient between the box and the conveyor is μk = 0.2 . After the package dropped, package and box start sliding on the conveyor for some distance, d for t(sliding) amount of time. Determine the distance, d.
A box of mass 10.2 kg is slid along the floor. The initial speed of the box is 2.5 m/s and it comes to rest after 8.1 m. What was the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the box during this motion? You must enter you answer and include the SI units. (For example: 3.0kg)
In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 2.43 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?

You are driving your 1450-kg car on a straight highway at 67 mph when a deer jumps out into the middle of the road in front of your car. You have a quick reaction time of 0.60 seconds before applying the brakes which slow your car for 2.36 seconds before you enter a skid. Your car then skids for 39.4 m before coming to a stop. Assuming a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of 0.45, find (a) the acceleration rate you had while the brakes were applied prior to the skid, (b) the total distance the car traveled from the moment the deer jumped to when the car stopped, (c) the work done by the brakes, and the work done by friction during the skid.
A small rocket of weight 0.3 lbs is launched vertically with thrust 3 lbs from a stand on the ground at time t = 0 seconds. It has a constant thrust for the first second, then no thrust after that. We will assume no air friction and ignore the mass change of the rocket for now. Determine the maximum height that the rocket will reach. feet
