Review. While learning to drive, you arc in a 1 200-kg car moving at 20.0 m/s across a large, vacant, level parking lot. Suddenly you realize you are heading straight toward the brick sidewall of a large supermarket and are in danger of running into it. The pavement can exert a maximum horizontal force of 7 000 N on the car. (a) Explain why you should expect the force to have a well-defined maximum value. (b) Suppose you apply the brakes and do not turn the steering wheel. Find the minimum distance you must be from the wall to avoid a collision. (c) If you do not brake but instead maintain constant speed and turn the steering wheel, what is the minimum distance you must be from the wall to avoid a collision? (d) Of the two methods in parts (b) and (c), which is better for avoiding a collision? Or should you use both the brakes and the steering wheel, or neither? Explain. (c) Does the conclusion in part (d) depend on the numerical values given in this problem, or is it true in general? Explain.

Solution Summary: The author explains that a well-defined horizontal force results in the slow acceleration of the car to avoid damages.

a cubic foot of argon at 20 degrees celsius is isentropically compressed from 1 atm to 425 KPa. What is the new temperature and density?
Calculate the variance of the calculated accelerations. The free fall height was 1753 mm. The measured release and catch times were:
222.22 800.00
61.11 641.67
0.00 588.89
11.11 588.89
8.33 588.89
11.11 588.89
5.56 586.11
2.78 583.33
Give in the answer window the calculated repeated experiment variance in m/s2.
