A car is traveling up a road inclined at an angle Theta above the horizontal. The driver slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement for the car sliding to a stop is mu_k. Find an expression for the acceleration of the car as it slides to a stop. Using your result above, find the numerical value of the car's acceleration if Theta = 8.0 degree and mu_k...
sed Three dntl hopahyay entyphysics vme > of 14 Page A car is being driven along a country road on a dark and rainy night at a speed of 20 m/s. The section of road is horizontal and straight. The driver sees that a tree has fallen and covered the road ahead. Panicking, the driver locks the brakes at a distance of 20 m from the tree. If the coefficient of friction between the wheels and road is 0.8, determine...
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.35 m/s2 for 4.00 s, making straight skid marks 61.5 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.40 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 63.3 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? m/s (b) What If? If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the...
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration -5.50 m/s2 for 4.45 s, making straight skid marks 61.1 m long ending at the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree? m/s
a 2500 lb car is driving down a 10 deg slope at 45 mph. the coefficient of dynamic friction is .8 between road and tires. the driver Dees an obstacle 30 m ahead and slams on brakes. how fast is the car moving when it hits the obstacle?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.00 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 64.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? i got 5.14 which is the the right answer but the second part im lost.. What If? If the car has the same initial velocity, and...
A certain cable car is San Francisco can
stop in 10 s when traveling at maximum speed. On one occasion, the
driver sees a dog a distance d m in front of the car and slams on
the brakes instantly. The car reaches the dog 7.92 s later, and the
dog jumps off the track just in time. If the car travels 3.83 m
beyond the position of the dog before coming to a stop, how far was
the car...
22. Two cars are driving down a straight country road when the driver of the first car (traveling at speed vi v sees a deer crossing the road in front of her. She quickly applies her brakes, causing her car to slow down with a (negative) acceleration a--2a. The second car is a distance D behind her and is traveling at an initial speed v2 v. Its driver immediately applies his brakes as well-assume at the same time as the...
2. A 2500 kg car is driving at 65.0 km/h on a horizontal level road. As it approaches a stoplight the light turns red so the brakes are applied as the car hits a patch ofice. With the brakes locked, the car travels 55.0 m before coming to a stop. A) What is the initial kinetic energy of the car? B) How much work is done by friction in stopping the car? c) What is the force of friction stopping...
