    Find minimum stopping distance of a car

    [b]1. Homework Statement It takes a minimum distance of 66.64 m to stop a car moving at 14.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Assume that the same frictional forces apply and find the minimum stopping distance, when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s. The Attempt...

    Two forces at 45 pull an object distance of 14. What is work by both forces?

    ya, so i found force by sqrt of 7^2 + 7^2. then i multiplied it by 7 and go 69.30 J. What am i doing wrong?

    How Do You Calculate the Angle Theta for a Pendulum Near Mt. Everest?

    Homework Statement Estimate the angle theta of the pendulum bob if it is 4.80km from the center of Mt. Everest. The Attempt at a Solution Tan(theta) = (GMeverest/r^2)/g I have been trying to use this formula, but i don't think its the right one?

    Is the Work-Energy Principle Valid Without Friction?

    Homework Statement Select T-True, F-False, for each statement. If the first is T and the rest F, enter TFFFFF. A) The work done to raise a box onto a platform depends on how much time it takes to raise it. (Neglect friction, assume it starts on the ground at rest, and ends up resting...

    Truck and car collide, calculate magnitude of force on car from the truck

    Homework Statement A car of mass 6.50×102kg and a truck of mass 3.15×103kg run into one another due to ice on the road. 34.00ms after the collision, the car is pushing on the truck with a force whose magnitude is 1.98671×105N. Calculate the size of the force on the car due to the truck at...
