Chapter 6, Problem 5AC
An automobile accident investigator needs to determine the initial westerly velocity of a Jeep (m = 1720kg) that may have been speeding before colliding head-on with a Volkswagen (m = 1510kg) that was moving with a velocity of 75 7 km/h east. The speed limit on this road is 90 km/h. After the collision, the Jeep and the Volkswagen stuck together and continued to travel with a velocity of 15.5 km/h west. (a) Find the initial westerly velocity of the Jeep. (b) Was the Jeep speeding?

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
