    A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.20 m/s2 for 12.6 s . It then proceeds at constant speed for 1300 m before slowing down at 2.00 m/s2 until it stops at the station. What maximum velocity does the train achieve after leaving the station? What is the distance between the stations? How much time does it take the train to go between the stations?

    It is sometimes claimed that friction forces always slow an object down, but this is not true. If you place a box of mass 3 kg on a moving horizontal conveyor belt, the friction force of the belt acting on the bottom of the box speeds up the box. At first there is some slipping, until the speed of the box catches up to the speed of the belt, which is 3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box...

    (2 + 2 + 2 = 6 marks) While driving on highway 401 you see a traffic jam ahead. Not wanting to apply the brake, you take your foot off the gas and let the car slow down on its own. Your acceleration is -4.0 m/s2 (remember you are slowing down) and the mass of the car is 1 200 kg. a) How much frictional force acted to slow down the car? b) While slowing down, the car travels 85...

    Assume you want to slow down a 2700-lb car in a safe way, that is, you want the first barrel to slowdown the car by 10 mph from its original speed which is 60+ your birth month (so if you are born in May, speed 65 mph). 1. What is the speed of the car before impact? 2. Assume elastic collision. How many pounds does the barrel need to weigh to slow down the car by 10 mph? Give the...
