3) A car rounds a circular curve of radius 80.0 m banked at 15⁰ to the horizontal at 30.0 m/s. What is the coefficient of friction required for the car not to skid? Some hints. first, set the x-axis as horizontal, and the y-axis as vertical (this is different than how we normally handle inclines). Second, there will be 3 forces: the normal force (with x- and y- components), the force of gravity (y-component only), and friction pointing down the slope (also with x- and y-components).

A race car starts from rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 3.8 m/s^2 for 23s, and then brakes (decelerates) at a constant rate of 5.6 m/s^2 (magnitude) until it comes to a stop. (a) Find the total distance traveled by the car before coming to rest. (b) Draw a graph of the velocity vs. time, and indicate numerical values of any “special points”on the graph.

Ironman steps from the top of a tall building. He falls freely from rest to the ground a distance of h. He falls a distance of h/ 4 in the last interval of time of 1.0 s of his fall.
Hint: First, compute the velocity when Ironman reaches the height equal to the distance fallen. This requires that you do the following: define origin as the bottom of the building. Then use x-x0 = -v0*(t-t0)-(1/2)g(t-t0)^2 where x=0 and x0= (distance fallen) and t-t0 is the time interval given. In this formulation, you are going to get magnitude of v0 since you already inserted the sign. You then insert v0 that you just calculated into the kinematic equation that involves v, g, and displacement (v^2-v0^2 = 2g(height-(distance fallen)), but now v (which is the final velocity is v0 from above) and v0 in this case is the velocity that the Ironman has when he begins to fall, which is 0. This gives a quadratic equation for height h, and you will need to use the binomial equation to solve for h. Choose the larger of the two solutions.

What is the height h of the building?
