Your friend’s car has broken down, so you volunteer to push it with your own car to the nearestrepair shop, which is 2.0 km away. You carefully move your car so that the bumpers of the two carsare in contact. You then slowly accelerate to a speed of 2.5 m/s over the course of 1.0 min. The massof your friend’s car is 1.2 x 10 ^3 kg. Assume negligible friction.a) Calculate the normal force between the two bumpers. b) You then maintain a speed of 2.5 m/s. How long does it take you to reach the repair shop? c) Sketch the shape of a velocity time graph for the entire motion. d) Sketch the shape of a position time graph for the entire motion.
A 4.50 kg box sits halfway up a 12.0 m long ramp that is inclined at an angle of 20.00. You shove a second box, of mass 1.50 kg, that's at the bottom of the ramp, so that it starts sliding up the ramp with a speed of 17.0 m/s. It hits the first box, sticks to it, and they both continue to slide up the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the ramp is 0.100. Where, from the bottom of the ramp, do they come to rest?
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.
Two stationary hockey players push each other so that they move in opposite directions. One player has a mass 38.7 kg and a speed of 2.8 m/s. What is the mass of the other player if her speed is 3.8 m/s ? Neglect friction.
While skydiving, a brilliant young physics student known affectionately as “Crazy Kaitlin”launches herself horizontally out of an airplane. The plane is flying steadily at 12,500 feetabove the Earth with a horizontal speed of 80 miles per hour. The total mass of Kaitlinand her gear is 75-kg. Assume g = -9.8 m/s2 While free-falling, Kaitlin engages in some aerial acrobatics. At one point, she finds herself rapidly spinning aboutan axis that runs from her head to her feet. If she wants to quickly decrease her rate of spin, the optimum way forher to this is:A) Cup her hands and claw wildly at the air B) Use counter-flagellation forcesC) Fold her arms tightly across her chest to decrease her moment of Inertia.D) Stretch her arms and legs as far outward as possible to increase her moment of Inertia
A boy coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching a level surface atthe bottom with a speed of 7.00 m/s. If the coefficient of frictionbetween the sled’s runners and the snow is 0.050 0 andthe boy and sled together weigh 600. N, how far does the sledtravel on the level surface beforecoming to rest?
You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 Ilb and was traveling westward at 45.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.) speed of car A: mph

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First, he tries to throw a rope at his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last-ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma=113 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of .mb=13.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at vi=1.20 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed ?b,f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? calculate vb,f in m/s
