At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. a.)Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The average distance, d, that a Galapagos tortoise travels during a day scales with the tortoise’s mass, m, as: d is proportional to m^2/3. If a 50 kg tortoise travels 400m in a day, how far does a 200kg tortoise travel?
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 112 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.42. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.
A projectile is modelled by the function 9.81 -t' + vot + ho, 2 h(t) with h measured in meters. Using the table of given information below, find the first time the projectile reaches a height of 12.0 m. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. VO= 15.64 m/s ho = 1.5 m Your Answer: Answer units
The horsepower H required to overcome wind drag on a certain automobile is H(x) = 0.00004636x3 where x is the speed of the car in miles per hour. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph H. (b) Rewrite H so that x represents the speed in kilometers per hour.
The maximum running speed (S) in km/hr and the corresponding body mass (m) in kg were determined for 55 different species of mammals. An empirical relation was determined to be: S[km/hr] = 5.7 (m[kg])2 . Note: The notation in this equation means, “inserting the mass (m) in units of ‘kg’, automatically calculates the maximum running speed (S) in units of ‘km/hr’. ” (a) What are the implied units for the “5.7” factor? Hint: recall that relations between physical quantities must be dimensionally consistent, and the chosen units must in turn be consistent with the dimensionality. (b) Re-write the equation so that it gives the maximum speed in units of “m/s” for a given body mass in “g”. Show all relevant details. If done correctly, you will need to use at least one unit conversion factor.
A retailer buys Dalmatian stuffies for $6 each. (Assume that the retailer has no other variable costs). The retailer can only charge by the dollar so no need to consider cents -- e.g., $3 is a price you could choose, $3.11 or $2.99 are not. The potential customers have the following WTP.

Fair A car with mass m = 2000 kg goes up on a steep road at a constant speed of 40 m/s. The slope angle 0 has sin 0 = 0.1. There is an air friction force with magnitude Fair = 2000 N. Compute the following powers. (Take g=10 m/s2.) Note: You can use unit prefixes like k=kilo=10° in your unit expressions (e.g., kN for kilonewton). (a) Power of work done by the gravity on the car. Pa grav (b) Power of work done by the air friction force Fair on the car. Pair (c) Power of energy transferred by the engine on the car (assume that only the air friction and gravitational forces are the external forces that act on the car). Pengine
