- (Assume g=10 m/s2) A 2500kg car traveling 14.0 m/s on an icy, level road approaches an intersection. The brakes lock and the car skids 25.0m before coming to stop. What is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the surface?(0.39)arrow_forwardA commercial jet liner hits an air pocket and drops 262 feet. After climbing 112 feet, it drops another 104 feet. What is its overall vertical change?arrow_forward8. A skier starts from rest at the top of a 20° incline and skis in a straight line to the bottom of the slope, a distance d (measured along the slope) of 400 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.2, calculate the skier's speed at the bottom of the run.arrow_forward
- A car drives up a steep 10° slope at a constant speed of 15 m/s. After 10 s, how much height has the car gained?arrow_forwardA ball is throw hoard from the ground with initial velocity vi= 14 m/s and reaches height of h above the ground before falling back down. Take the upwards direction to be positive. Neglect air resistance. (C) Enter an expression for the maximum height, h, the ball reaches in terms of vf, vi, and a. (D) Calculate the value of h, in meters. (E) Enter an expression for the time it takes for the ball to trace from the ground to the top, delta t, in terms of vi, vf, and a.arrow_forwardQUADRATIC EQUATIONS: A bungee jumper is jumping off a bridge 25 m high that goes over a river. The quadratic equation h = 3t^2 − 18t + 25 can be used to model the path of the bungee jumper, where h is the height in metres above the water and t is the time in seconds. Determine if the jumper will hit the water before rebounding up into the air. (*please type answer*)arrow_forward
- While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 7.00 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 14 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s for the acceleration due to gravity. (See the diagram below.)
