If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.90, what is the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes when traveling at 22.9m/s ?
On wet pavement, the coefficient of kinetic friction may be only 0.25. How fast should you drive on wet pavement in order to be able to stop in the same distance as in part A? (Note: Locking the brakes is notthe safest way to stop.)

Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter collide with a glancing blow. Asteroid A, which was initially traveling at vA1 = 40.0 m/s with respect to an inertial frame in which asteroid B was at rest, is deflected 30.0 ? from its original direction, while asteroid B travels at 45.0 ? to the original direction of A, as shown in (Figure 1).

A frictionless vertical post is inserted into a bowling ball with a hole drilled through its center. The ball has a mass of 10.5 kg. A rope is attached to a ring that has been affixed to the ball. Kurt pulls on the rope at an angle of 0 = 24.5° with respect to the vertical with a constant force of magnitude |F| = 134 N .
(a) How much work does Kurt do on the bowling ball by raising it through a vertical distance of 1.08 m at a constant velocity?
(b) How much work does the Earth do on the ball while it is being raised through a distance of 1.08 m?
(c) Kurt is lazy and would like to be able to raise the ball through the same vertical distance with a minimum effort. What two changes in his actions would you recommend to her?
(d) What is the net work done on the ball by the two forces acting on it?
(e) If Kurt raises the mass in a time of 0.56 s what is his horse power?

In this problem we want to calculate the electric field due to several charge linear distributions .a) Consider a thin rod of length L. The rod carries a uniform charge density, λ, and total charge Q. Calculate the electric field at a point p that is on the rod’s cylindrical axis of symmetry and a distance d away from the end of the rod. Do this by direct integration. How does your expression be have as L→∞?b) Repeat, with the rod’s charge density being λ=αx, whereαhas a numerical value of 0.25 (what are the dimensions and units of α?)?
