A truck of mass M and a bike of mass m approach a stop sign on a rainy day. As they approach the stopsign, both vehicles are travelling with speed vo. When their front tires are even with the stopsign, the drivers each engage their brakes as start to skid. Each tire has a coefficient of kinetic friction mu_k with the ground. Given M, m, vo, g, how far does each object slide into the intersection? In your skeptic section,...

A curve of radius 30 m is banked so that a 950 kg car travelling at 40 km/h can go round it even if the road is so icy that the coefficient of static friction is approximately zero. You are commissioned to tell the local police the range of speeds at which a car can travel around this curve without skidding. Neglect the effects of air drag and rolling friction. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.3, what is...

A car travelling at 3.0 m/s drives into an empty parking space. At the same instant, a truck that has an inertia 50% greater than the car’s is using the same parking space to take a shortcut through the parking lot. Both vehicles are coasting (zero acceleration conveniently), and just before they hit head-on, the truck is moving at 4.0 m/s. During the collision 75% of the initial KE of the car-truck system is converted to internal energy. There are...
