The police are investigating a rear-end collision between two automobiles at an intersection. The approaching automobile has a mass of 1800 kg and an unknown velocity. It makes a rear-end collision with a stationary car whose mass is 2230 kg. The cars lock bumpers and skid off together and come to rest after skidding 10.5 metres. The skid marks indicate that the stationary car had its wheels locked but the approaching car did not. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels of the car and the pavement is 0.589, determine the initial speed of the approaching automobile just before the collision.

A police cruiser, approaching a right-angled intersection from
the north, is chasing a speeding car that has turned the corner and
is now moving straight east. When the cruiser is 1 mi north of the
intersection and the car is 1 mi to the east, the police determine
with radar that the distance between them and the car is increasing
at 2–√ mph. If
the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what
is the speed of the...

Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2300 kg
pickup traveling at 13.0 m/s from east to west (the ?x- direction),
and the other is a 1300 kg sedan going from south to north (the
+y?direction at 21.0 m/s ).

Two automobiles with equal mass approach an
intersection. One vehicle is traveling eastward and the other
vehicle is traveling northward. The vehicles collide and
stick together. After impact they travel on the road and then
travel on a gravel covered shoulder until both cars stop. Only the
northward bound vehicle left skid marks at an angle of 55 degrees
north of east. A police officer posted at the intersection
clocked the eastward vehicle at 29 mph before impact. The northward...

Given
Choosing between two proposed traffic safety project
intersection of a high crash rate intersection. Two solutions are
proposed.
Project A: build a 5.57 million dollars overpass to separate the
two roadways. The estimated value of the crash avoided will be
513000 per year over the next 20 years.
Project B: improve the geometry and signal timing at the
intersection at a cost of 418000 dollars. The estimated value of
the crash avoided will be 61800 dollars per year over...

collision occurs between two equal masses m1 and m2. Before the
collision m2 is stationary. After the collision both masses are
moving differently. After the collision the position of the center
of mass and motion of the center of mass respectively are best
described as.
ANSWER CHOICE
A) halfway between the two masses, and stationary
B) halfway between the two masses and moving
C) halfway between the two masses and moving with the speed of
mass m1
D) centered...

Two automobiles collide. One automobile of mass 1.13 x
103 kg is initially traveling at 25.7m/s [E]. The other
automobile of mass 1.25 x 103 kg has an initial velocity
of 13.8 m/s [W]. The vehicles become attached during the
collision

We look at a collision between two identical atoms that form a
molecule in the process. We assume that each atom has mass ? and
can be considered as a point particle.
We assume that all external forces are small relative to the forces
between the atoms. We therefore do not need to take
consideration of some external forces.
We begin with a simplified model where the connection is instant
(without spring). Atom A moves in ?direction in distance ?...

- (a) What factors determine whether a
collision between two molecules will lead to a chemical
reaction?
(b) According to the collision model, why does
temperature affect the value of the rate constant?
(c) Does the rate constant for a reaction
generally increase or decrease with an increase in reaction
temperature?

The time intervals between two consecutive accidents in an
intersection were recorded to be 3, 10, 2, 3, 3, 11, 7, and 5 days.
Suppose the time interval is geometrically distributed. Determine
its parameter using the method of moments, and using the method of
maximum likelihood. Compare the results.
