- In the "before" part of the figure, car A (mass 1200 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1300 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low μk of 0.20) stops them, at distances då = 7.9 m and dB = 6.2 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision?

You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 72.4 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.72 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.415 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 710.2 N 723 N 964 N 1,446 Narrow_forwardA 4.0 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a riffle with a speed of 328 m/s.
