A car accelerates down a steep hillside. The road is 50 m long perfectly flat, and inclined 30 degrees below the horizontal. The car starts from rest, and accelerates at 6 m/s^2. Unfortunately for the driver, at the end of the road there is a cliff of height 75 m above the ocean. After leaving the road and driving off the cliff, the car undergoes projectile motion. Find the horizontal distance the car flies before hitting the ground.

A 1000 kg car is driving at a speed of 35 m/s on flat level ground. A road hazard ahead causes the driver to slam on the brakes, and the tires start to skid. a) If the pavement is dry (and thus μk = 0.7) how far will they travel before coming to a stop? b) If the pavement is wet, μk is reduced to 0.3. Now how far would they travel before coming to a stop?

A car is moving down a flat, horizontal highway at a constant speed of 21 m/s when suddenly a rock dropped from rest straight down from a bridge crashes through the windshield. The rock strikes the windshield at a right angle, and the windshield makes a 60 degree angle with the horizontal. The angle between the velocity of rock and the windshield is 90 degree! a.Find the speed of the rock relative to the car when it hits the windshield....

1) A driver knows she is driving counterclockwise on a circular road. She looks down at her speedometer, and notices its reading is not changing with time. she has taken physics so she knows she is accelerstion in what direction ( ignorning any motion of the earth?) 2) you swing a rock, tied to a thread of length L in a horizontal circle around your head at a given constant angular frequency omega. since there is gravity the thread slopes...
