Chapter 14, Problem 20P

The crash cushion for a highway barrier consists of a nest of barrels filled with an impact-absorbing material. The barrier stopping force is measured versus the vehicle penetration into the barrier. Determine the distance a car having a weight of 4000 lb will penetrate the barrier if it is originally traveling at 55 ft/s when it strikes the first barrel.

A block with a weight of 5 kg hanging from the ceiling attached to a spring is raised and then pulled downward. As it passes downward through the spring's unstretched position it has a speed of 10 m/s downward. If the spring has a stiffness of 5 N/m, determine the maximum position below the spring's unstretched position achieved by the block.
A 1500-kg vehicle travelling at 60 km/h collides head-on with a 1000 kg vehicle travelling at 90 km/h. If they come to rest immediately after impact, determine the increase in internal energy, taking both vehicles as the system. Interpret it by drawing the diagram or figure.
The radius of a highway curve is 120m, and has an angle of 9.31 from the horizontal. The center of gravity of the car is located 0.80m above the roadway and the distance between the two front wheels is 1.2m. if the car has a total weight of 15KN, a. Determine the normal acceleration (m/s2) and the velocity (in kph) of the car before overturning? Assume that friction is great enough to prevent sliding. b. Find the maximum velocity of the car could move in the curve so that there will be no pressure between the tires and the roadway, kph. c. What is the velocity of the car to prevent sliding up if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60?
