A piece of electronic equipment that is surrounded by packing material is dropped so that it hits the ground with a speed of 4 m/s. After contact, the equipment experiences an acceleration of a = −kx, where k is a constant and x is the compression of the packing material. If the packing material experiences a maximum compression of 15 mm, determine the maximum acceleration of the equipment.

- Two cars A and B, each having a mass of 1.6 Mg, collide on the icy pavement of an intersection. The direction of motion of each car after collision is measured from snow tracks as shown in (Figure 1). Assume 0 = 40°. The driver in car A states that he was going 60 km/h just before collision and that after collision he applied the brakes, so that his car skidded 4 m before stopping. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car wheels and the pavement is μ = 0.15. Figure A B B 1 of 1 Part A Determine the approximate speed of car B just before collision.
