Brake or turn? The figure depicts an overhead view of a car's path as the car travels toward a wall. Assume that the driver begins to
brake the car when the distance to the wall is d = 109 m, and take the car's mass as m = 1410 kg, its initial speed as v₁ = 38.0 m/s, and
the coefficient of static friction as µ = 0.530. Assume that the car's weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even during
braking. (a) What magnitude of frictional force is needed (between tires and road) to stop the car just as it reaches the wall? (b) What is
the maximum possible static friction fs, max? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the (sliding) tires and the road is µk = 0.440,
at what speed will the car hit the wall? To avoid the crash, a driver could elect to turn the car so that it just barely misses the wall, as
shown in the figure. (d) What magnitude of frictional force would be required to keep the car in a circular path of radius d and at the
given speed vo?

- A block of mass 2.00 kg starts from rest at the edge of the ramp as shown. It is pushed up the ramp by a 30.0 N force, F, acting parallel to the ramp as shown. The ramp makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal. Assume the ramp is smooth. When the block reaches the top of the ramp, the force F stops acting so that the block is only under the influence of gravity. It takes the block t=5 seconds to reach point A. The block is therefore launched from the top of the ramp and follows a parabolic trajectory in the air. Take the acceleration due to Earth's gravity to be 9.81 m/s². 40- How much time (measured starting at point A) does it take for the block to travel from the edge of the ramp (point A) to the top of its trajectory (point B)?
