An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.
A crate having mass 50.0 kg falls horizontally off the back of the flatbed truck, which is traveling at 100 km/h. Find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and crate if the crate slides 50 m on the road in coming to rest. The initial speed of the crate is the same as the truck, 100 km/h.
By what factor does the drag force on a car increase as it goes from 65 to 110 km/h?
skydiving tunnels have become popular attractions, appealing in part to those who would like a taste of skydiving experience but too overwhelmed by the fear of jumping out of plane at serveral thousand feet. skydiving tunnels are vertical wind tunnel through which air is blown at high speeds allowing visitors to experience body flight. jill decides to try a skydiving tunnel. inside the tunnel she changes her orientation anf for an instant her 68.9kg body momentarily experiences a upward force of air resistance of 455N. determine her acceleration during this moment in time. is it positve or negative?

3. A base year student with a mass of 85 kg slides on a surfboard down the stairs in NI:0E11 with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. The stairs have an angle of 15.0 degrees to the ground. (a) Free the surfer (ie the surfer and the teacher as a unit). (b) Calculate the frictional force.
Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it Installed. Suppose a 1800-kg car passes over a hump In a roadway that follows the arc of a cirde of radlus 20.0 m as in the figure below. (a) If the car travels at 29.4 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump? magnitude direction (b) What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point? km/h
