V1
Refer to Figure
the brakes are released. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.7.
A truck is traveling at 31 m/s when the brakes are fully applied causing the wheels to skid for 3 seconds and then
What is the final speed of the truck in units of m/s ?
O 10.40
O 7.40
O 13.40
O 4.40
Under good conditions, a car can travel at a maximum speed of vmax around a particular unbanked curve. In the aftermath of an ice storm, however, driving at that same speed will cause the car to slide off the road. Which of the statements below best describes why this is true?
a.
The friction force is no longer strong enough to balance the centripetal force and give the car zero acceleration.
b.
The friction force is needed to do negative work on the car to reduce the car’s kinetic energy.
c.
The friction force no longer provides a strong enough unbalanced force to change the car’s velocity quickly enough to stay on the curve.
d.
The car “floats” on the ice reducing the gravitational force which is what keeps the car on the road.
e.
[All of the above.]

In1994 Laurent Jalabert crashed into a gendarme (policeman) and was seriously hurt.Sometimes riders can stop to avoid a collision, sometimes not. It depends on friction and reaction time. The 95-kg Jalabert was speeding at 40 mph along the level street on a wet day. The coefficient of kinetic friction between his wheels and the road was 0.13. He looked up to see the gendarme about 44 m (about half of a football field) ahead of him. If he has typical human reaction time (0.15 s), how close will he be to the gendarme when he begins to apply the brakes? Round the final answer to two decimal places. As Jalabert skids, what is the magnitude of his acceleration? Round the final answer to two decimal places. How fast was Jalabert going when he hit the gendarme? Round the final answer to one decimal place.arrow_forward
