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?

b) How much time would I take for the 4.3kg block to fall to the floor?

The figure depicts an overhead view of a car's path as the car travels toward a wall. Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d = 109 m, and take the car's mass as m = 1410 kg, its initial speed as v₁ = 38.0 m/s, and the coefficient of static friction as µ = 0.530. Assume that the car's weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even during braking. (a) What magnitude of frictional force is needed (between tires and road) to stop the car just as it reaches the wall? (b) What is the maximum possible static friction fs, max? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the (sliding) tires and the road is µk = 0.440, at what speed will the car hit the wall? To avoid the crash, a driver could elect to turn the car so that it just barely misses the wall, as shown in the figure. (d) What magnitude of frictional force would be required to keep the car in a circular path of radius d and at the given speed vo? (a) Number (b)…arrow_forwardA car accelerates from rest when a traffic light turns green. A cup of coffee that was sitting on the dashboard of the car falls into the driver’s lap. The driver could rightly argue that the cup’s apparent motion was due to its inertia. It had a tendency to stay still and the car accelerated from beneath it.

- 7. Sally is driving at a constant speed of 25 m/s on a straight horizontal road. She sees an obstacle on the road ahead and applies the brakes! The wheels lock causing the car to slide forward. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.40, how long does it take the car to come to a complete stop?arrow_forwardI have asked many experts to draw me out the diagram and show me where they all the arrows go and explain it to me but they keep drawing half of arrows so I don't know where the rest of arrows go including yaw,roll and the rudder force arrows can you show me please and explain it to me I am really stuck on this labelling digram.arrow_forwardThe physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to "lift off" from the ground. A. A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L. Find an expression for the person's maximum walking speed vmax Express your answer in terms of the variables L and appropriate constants. b.)Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm . Give your answer in m/s. c.) Give your answer in mph.arrow_forward
- A person driving on I-82 glanced at his phone to read a very important text message. When he looked back up at the road, he saw that the traffic ahead had come to a standstill and he immediately slammed on his brakes. His car created 96.5 m long skid marks before rear-ending another car. Unfortunately, a passenger in the rear-ended car was seriously injured, thus requiring an investigation by the State Patrol. The State Patrol has no proof of distracted driving, however they want to determine if a citation for speeding should be issued. A State Patrol investigator used a 3.9 kg drag sled to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the tires of the car. The drag sled's spring scale read 28 N when it was pulled along the ground at a constant speed. Use Newton's Second Law and kinematics to estimate the minimum value of the car's speed when the driver locked the brakes. (answer: about 83 mi/hr) Note: You do not need the mass of the car to answer this question.…arrow_forwardA person driving on I-82 glanced at his phone to read a very important text message.
