The driver of an automobile, which travels with a velocity of 110 km/h on an a 8% graded
descending section of an asphalt paved straigth highway on a rainy day, recognizes a
pedestrian crossing the street 100 meters away and applies the brake.
a) Determine whether the accident occurs or not.
b)If the driver is crashing with the pedestrian, what would be the maximum velocity to
avoid the accident ?
Given: Pavement sliding friction coefficient, f= 0,30; detection-response time, tr= 1 sec.

An automobile has a vertical radio antenna 1.10 m long. The automobile travels at70.0 km/h on a horizontal road where the Earth's magnetic field is 50.0 µT, directed toward the north and downwards at an angle of 65.0° below the horizontal. (a) Specify the direction the automobile should move in order to generate the maximum motional emf in the antenna, with the top of the antenna positive relative to the bottom. (b) Calculate the magnitude of this induced emf.
