The accident. Given your excellent physics legal advice in Worksheet 2-2, you've been asked to make a judgement on another car accident. In this case, a Tesla with mass ma = 2000 kg travelling due east has collided with a Ford F150 Raptor with mass me = 2500 kg travelling due north. After the collision, it is found that the two vehicles (stuck together) have slid Ax = 7.7 m from the accident site at an angle of 40° north of east (see figure). The car driver claims the accident happened because the truck was speeding; the truck driver claims the car was speeding. The posted speed limit is 35 miles/hour.
(a) Work this problem backwards: Determine from the location of the vehicles what the total speed of the car+truck system was after the collision. Assume a coefficient of kinetic friction of uk = 0.90 between the car tire and road surfaces (hint: this is really an energy problem)
(b) Now determine the speeds of the car and truck before the collision, assuming it was an inelastic collision. Based on these values, was either car speeding? Who is telling the truth?
Solutions
Expert Solution
None is telling the truth, while truck was
slower.

In a poll, respondents were asked whether they had ever been in a car accident.
Find the indicated probability. In a poll, respondents were asked whether they had ever been in a car accident. 473 respondents indicated that they had been in a car accident and 243 respondents said that they had not been in a car accident. If one of these respondents is randomly selected, what is the probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident?
Consider the probability that exactly 95 out of 151 people have not been in a car accident. Assume the probability that a given person has not been in a car accident is 65%.
Consider the probability that exactly 95 out of 151 people have not been in a car accident. Assume the probability that a given person has not been in a car accident is 65%. Approximate the probability using the normal distribution.
