IP A pan half-filled with water is placed in the back of an SUV. (a) When the SUV is driving on the freeway with a constant velocity, is the surface of the water in the pan level, tilted forward, or tilted backward? Explain. (b) Suppose the SUV accelerates in the forward direction with a constant acceleration a. Is the surface of the water tilted forward, or tilted backward? Ex-plain. (c) Show that the angle of tilt, 0, in part (b) has a magnitude given by tan 6 = a/g, where g is the acceleration of gravity.
