While driving to work one day, I was holding my coffee mug in my left
hand while changing the radio station with my right hand. Then my cell
phone rang, so I placed the mug on the flat part of my dashboard.
Then, believe it or not, a deer ran out of the woods and onto the road
right in front of me. Fortunately, my reaction time was zero, and I was
able to stop from a speed of 17 m/s in a mere 50 m, just barely
avoiding the deer, without the coffee mug sliding. The mug (with
coffee) had a mass of 550 g, and the mass of the deer was 150 kg.
Part A
What is the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the mug and the dashboard?

A child riding in a car holds a string attached to a floating, helium-filled balloon. As the car decelerates to a stop, the balloon tilts backwards. As the car makes a right-hand turn, the balloon tilts to the right. On the other hand, the child tends to be forced forward as the car decelerates and to the left as the car makes a right-hand turn. Explain these observed effects on the balloon and child. Hint: Review your Physics about centripetal accelereation. indicate the free bofy diagram
a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each block?
b) How much time would I take for the 4.3kg block to fall to the floor?

Two bones connected at a joint do not touch. The bones are covered in articular cartilage, and are surrounded by lubricating synovial fluid. Rheumatoid arthritis results in overproduction of synovial fluid, swollen joints, and difficult and painful movement. Other joint disorders degrade the synovial fluid, directly increasing the friction between the bones, resulting in painful motion. The horizontal force F⃗h would rotate the femur head clockwise in the hip socket, but the frictional force f⃗f acts to prevent this clockwise rotation. The apparatus is designed such that when |F⃗h| > |f⃗f|, the femur head rotates clockwise. A sample of data collected at impending slippage of the femur is shown in the figure.(Figure 1). Based on these data, what is the approximate coefficient of static friction μs between the femur head and the hip socket?
