Brake or turn ? Figure 6- 44 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 = 107 m, and take the car’s mass as m = 1400 kg, its initial speed as v 0 = 35 m/s, and the coefficient of static friction as µ s = 0.50. Assume that the car’s weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even during braking. (a) What magnitude of static friction is needed (between tires and road) to stop the car just as it reaches the wall? (b) What is the maximum possible static friction ƒ s , max ? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the (sliding) tires and the road is µ k = 0.40, 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 v 0 , so that the car moves in a quarter circle and then parallel to the wall? (e) Is the required force less than ƒ s , max so that a circular path is possible? Figure 6-44 Problem 58.

A car of mass m = 1100 kg is traveling down a θ = 14 degree incline. When the car's speed is v0 = 13 m/s, a mechanical failure causes all four of its brakes to lock. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is μk = 0.45.
Calculate the distance the car travels down the hill L in meters until it comes to a stop at the end
Alaya designs a slide for sacks of rice to slide down, dropping from the first floor to ground level in a barn. The length of her slide is 8.5m along with an angle theta of 40 degrees from the horizontal.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide's surface is ?k=0.40 and the slide is not frictionless.
At the top of slide, the sack slides down. The sack was initially at rest. After the sack leaves from the edge, it hits the ground z = 3.6m from the end of the slide
a) Sketch the diagram
b) determine the height from the top end point of the slide to the ground.
The 40-kg crate is projected along the floor with an initial speed of vo= 8.8 m/s at x = 0. The coefficient of kinetic friction is k = 0.45.
