Chapter 16, Problem 4P
Below, BIO indicates a problem with a biological or medical focus. Problems labeled EST ask you to estimate the answer to a quantitative problem rather than derive a specific answer. Asterisks indicate level of difficulty of the problems with no * are considered to be the least difficult. A single * marks moderately difficult problems. Two ** indicate more difficult problems.
* Car hits tree Your car slides on ice and runs into a tree, causing the front of the car to become slightly hotter and crumpled. The car and ice are the system. Indicate what object does the work on the system. Indicate whether heating occurs. Identify the types of energy that change. Are these quantities positive or negative? Explain.

* Incorrect.
Car throwing stones. Chipsealing is a common and relatively inexpensive way to pave a road. A layer of hot tar is sprayed onto the
existing road surface and then stone chips are spread over the surface. A heavy roller then embeds the chips in the tar. Once the tar
cools, most of the stones are trapped. However, some loose stones are scattered over the surface. They eventually will be swept up by
a street cleaner, but if cars drive over the road before then, the rear tires on a leading car can launch stones backward toward a trailing
car (see the figure below). Assume that the stones are launched at speed vo= 11.2 m/s (25 mi/h), matching the speed of the cars. Also
assume that stones can leave the tires of the lead car at road level and at any angle and not be stopped by mud flaps or the underside of
the car. In terms of car lengths Lc=4.50 m, what is the least separation L between the cars such that stones will not hit the trailing car?
