When examining the scene of an accident involving two cars, investigators measure 73-m-long skid marks of one of the cars, which nearly came to a stop before colliding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and the pavement is about 0.90. Estimate the initial speed of that car assuming a level road.

Police investigators, examining the scene of an accident involving two cars, measure 71-mm-long skid marks of one of the cars, which nearly came to a stop before colliding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and the pavement is about 0.88.
1. The block shown in (Figure 1) has mass m = 7.0 kg and lies on a fixed smooth frictionless plane tilted at an angle θ = 24.5 ∘ to the horizontal. a. Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the plane. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. b. If the block starts from rest 19.0 m up the plane from its base, what will be the block's speed when it...
You testify as an "expert witness" in a case involving an accident
in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped at a
red light along a road headed down a hill. You find that the slope
of the hill is θ = 12.0°, that the cars were separated by distance
d = 25.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it
lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that...
91: (12.5 points) Two cars of the same mass run head-on into each other at C. After the collision, the car skid with their brakes locked and come to a stop in the positions shown in the lower part of the figure. Knowing that the speed of the car A just before the impact was 8 km/hr and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pavement and the tires of both cars is 0.30, determine (a) the speed of...
Please show all steps.
3. You are an insurance investigator called to the scene of a car accident. According to witnesses, a blue car (mass ms) was traveling south through an intersection when it was hit by a red car (mass m.) traveling east that ran a stop sign. You observe that the red car came to rest in the intersection. The blue car ended up a distance from the intersection, in a direction measured south of east. Determine the...
please explain.thank you
You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped at a red light along a road headed down a hill (see the figure). You find that the slope of the hill is θ = 11.0°, that the cars were separated by distance d = 20.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked...
Your friend has just been in a traffic accident and is trying to negotiate with the insurancecompany of the other driver to pay for fixing the car. You are asked to prove that itwas the other driver’s fault. At the scene of the crash you determine what happened.Your friend was traveling North and entered an intersection with no stop sign. At thecenter of the intersection, the car was struck by the other car that was traveling East.The speed limit on...
You are an insurance investigator trying to figure out if a driver making an insurance claim was exceeding the speed limit before a collision. Driver A has a car of mass mA, which slammed into Car B (mass mB) which was at rest at a stop sign before the collision. The two cars locked their bumpers during the collision. From the damage, you estimate that the collision speed was v_hit. You can tell from marks at the scene of the...
Consider the following
two-caraccident: Two cars of equal mass collide at an intersection. Driver E was traveling
eastward, anddriver N, northward. After the collision, the two cars
remainjoined together and slide, with locked wheels, before coming
torest. Police on the scene measure the length of the skid marks to be 9 meters. The coefficient
offriction between the locked wheels and the road is equal to
0.9.
Each driver claims that hisspeed
was less than 14 meters per second (50 mph)....
