Question
Assume that before the accident happened, the car was going at a constant velocity of 60Km/h on a level highway for a distance of 10.0km. The car accelerated briefly to 70.0Km/h to pass another car and then returns to 60.0Km/h as it descends the other side of the hill, even though the driver has taken her foot off the accelerator. Identify the times when the car’s engine was doing work on the car. Explain your answers.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the incline and the penguin's stomach is 0.15. The angle of the incline is 0 = 25 degrees. The total distance down the incline is 25 meters. The penguin gets a running start so his speed is 2.5 m/s when he begins to slide down the incline. What is the penguin's speed when he reaches the bottom of the incline? Hint: use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the acceleration of the penguin on the incline, then use kinematic equations to calculate the speed of the penguin when he reaches the bottom. 2.5 m/s 25 m 25°arrow_forwardA daredevil on a motorcycle leaves the end of a ramp with a speed of 32.4 m/s as in the figure below.
