Question
A 2210 kg car traveling at 10.1 m/s collides with a 2680 kg car that is initally at rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together and move 2.10 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

- Two blocks of masses m1 =4kg & m2 =2kg are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in active Fig. A constant “F=10N” is applied to m1 as shown. Find the magnitude of the acceleration and tension of the system.arrow_forwardBaldwin Young is conducting his famous toupee experiments. He tips his head at a given angle and determines the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between a toupee (which is probably his own) and his scalp. At an angle of just barely 17.5 degrees, the toupee begins to accelerate from rest. Then Baldwin lowers the angle to 13.8 degrees to observe that the toupee moves with a constant speed. Use this information to determine the coefficients of both static and kinetic friction. Begin with a free-body diagram.

- You are working as a letter sorter in the Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees’ footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation?arrow_forwardOn 24 November 2021 the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft was launched. Its mission is to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. DART was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket. At launch a Falcon rocket has a mass of 555 000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. Neglecting the effect of gravity, what is the initial acceleration of the rocket? Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. B. Assuming that the initial acceleration remains constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after 2 seconds? C. In practice, as the rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. Assuming the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part (ii) change? Would the speed after 2 seconds be lower, the same or higher?arrow_forwardThe objective of curling, an Olympic discipline, is to throw stones at houses. The stone is a 18 kg block of granite that slides on the carefully prepared ice with a very low coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.0178. With a curling broom the players can increase the friction to get as close as possible to the house, the target pattern embedded in the ice. Frequently an oncoming stone will bump a stone from a previous throw by the competing team. A stone reaches the house with a velocity of 1.2 m/s after traveling the 38 m length of the curling sheet. How fast the stone was going when it was released? The stone did not hit any other stones.arrow_forward
