A car traveling at 35 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while driving
up a 7° incline. How long will it take for the car to stop after it
runs out of gas (if it doesn't use its brakes and there is no
friction)? How far will it travel before it stops?
A jet plane has a takeoff speed of v = 74 m/s and can move along the runway at
an average acceleration of 1.4 m/s². If the length of the runway is 1.8 km, will
the plane be able to use this runway safely?
O Yes

You turn a corner and are driving up a steep hill. Suddenly, a small boy runs out on the street chasing a ball. You slam on the brakes and skid to a stop leaving a 50-foot-long skid mark on the street. The boy calmly walks away but a policemen watching from the sidewalk walks over and gives you a speeding ticket. He points out that the speed limit on this street is 25mph. After you recover your wits, you begin to examine the situation. You determine that the street makes an angle of 25◦ with the horizontal and that the coefficient of static friction between your tires and the street is 0.80. You also find that the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the street is 0.60. Your car’s information book tells you that the mass of your car is 1600 kg. You weigh 140 lbs. Will you fight the ticket in court? Please draw a figure with your detailed answer.arrow_forwardWhen visiting a friend in Atlanta you decide to drive around the city.
