1. A giant wheel, 40 meters in diameter, is fitted with a cage and platform on which a man can stand. The wheel rotates at such a speed that when the cage is at the top of the wheel, then the force exerted by the man on the platform is equal to his weight. The speed of the man is: 2. T + mg...

Thank you, and I was able to figure it out.

Thanks for the help. I really had no idea how to answer this problem. I am confused on what do after solving for acceleration because I could not find a way to determine the force or the mass of the car.

1. A car is traveling at 15 meters/second on a horizontal road. The brakes are applied and the car sids to a stop in 4 seconds. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 2. Coefficient of kinetic friction = friction / Normal Force 3. Time to stop /...
