You are driving down IL-53 at 45 miles per hour in your 1325 kg car. As you look down to check a text, a car 75 m in front of you stops. It takes you 2.0 s to look at the text, realize there’s a stopped car in front of you, and hit the brakes. Your car skids along the concrete (µk=0.8 between rubber and dry concrete) and slows. (a) How far does your car travel in those 2.0 s...

A truck with a mass of 1800 kg traveling 32 miles per hour collides with a car (mass = 1100 kg) sitting at a stop sign. The two lock together and both cars slide into the intersection. Both drivers slam on the brakes in desperation. The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.58. a. What is the momentum of each car before the collision? b. What is their combined momentum after the collision? Justify your answer....

The braking system on a certain car will stop it in a mean distance of 60 feet when traveling 35 miles per hour. A new system, thought to be superior, has been developed. The new system is installed on 36 cars and the mean stopping distance is 56 feet, with a sample standard deviation of 7 feet. At α = 0.01 can we conclude that the new system will stop the car faster?
