Two lovers are parked 10 m from the edge of a cliff in a sports car with mass, including that of the occupants, is 1000 kg. A jealous suitor ties a rope to the car’s bumper and a 50 kg rock to the other end of the rope. He then lowers the rock over the cliff, and the car, in neutral, accelerates toward the cliff. Ignoring all friction forces, a. Calculate the car’s acceleration.b. How much time do the lovers have to leap from the car before it is pulled over the cliff if the car is 10 m away from the cliff?
Figure 1 a. Block speed (m/sec) = 0.2 x time (sec) b. Pulling force (N) = 0.2 x block mass (kg) c. Block speed (m/sec) = 5.0 x time (sec) d. Pulling force (N) = 5,0 x block mass (kg) 13. James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s.

A 1300 kg car A struck a parked car B with mass 1200kg. the wheels of car B jams a break and known to slide 2m after the impact. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between car B and the road is 0.80 and the coefficient of restitution is 0.40. a. What is the velocity of B after impact? b.

An old phrase used to sell cars was that they could "stop on a dime," meaning they could stop before the car moved a distance equal to the diameter of a dime. a. To see if this is realistic, calculate the net force needed to stop a 490-kg car moving at 25 miles/hour in a distance of 1.8 cm (the diameter of a dime). b. Compare that force to the weight of the car. Are they even close to the same size? Based on your comparison, is "stopping on a dime" a reasonable claim, or is the force needed unreasonably large? c. Calculate how much time it would take the car to stop. Is this a reasonable time for a car moving at 25 mph to stop, based on your experience traveling in cars?
