A 2500-lb automobile is moving at a speed of 35 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, causing all four wheels to skid. a) Determine the time required to stop the automobile on dry pavement (?k = 0.75). (Round the final answer to two decimal places.) b) Determine the time required to stop the automobile on an icy road (?k = 0.10). (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)

A driver in a moving car applies the brakes. The car slows to a final speed of 1.50 m/s over a distance of 40.0 m and a time interval of 9.00 s. The acceleration while braking is approximately constant. (a) What is the car's original speed before braking? m/s (b) What is its acceleration during this time? (The car's initial velocity is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 5 mi and a speed of 470 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 7 mi away from the station. For full credit I expect to see a well-labeled picture. Show all work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number. Do not round intermediate values. Include units of measure in your answer.

Your friend claims he can throw a baseball straight up with a speed of 80 mi/h. You do not believe him, so you design an experiment that will enable you to calculate the speed of a thrown ball. You attach a 0.5-kg block to a vertical spring. The block hangs a distance of 0.05 m below the relaxed position. Your friend stands directly beneath the hanging block and throws the baseball straight up. He releases the ball at a distance...
