Two automobiles with equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling eastward and the other vehicle is traveling northward. The vehicles collide and stick together. After impact they travel on the road and then travel on a gravel covered shoulder until both cars stop. Only the northward bound vehicle left skid marks at an angle of 55 degrees north of east. A police officer posted at the intersection clocked the eastward vehicle at 29 mph before impact. The northward bound car skid on the road for 25 ft and continued to skid on the gravel covered shoulder. What is the total distance, in feet, the two cars traveled after the collision? Assume us = 0.96 and uk = 0.85 for the road and us = 0.74 and uk = 0.65 for the shoulder.

Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. Suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the compact car leading the pickup truck. The driver of the compact car slams on the brakes suddenly, slowing the vehicle to 5.78 m/s. If the pickup truck traveling at 17.4 m/s crashes into the compact car, find the following.
(a) the speed of the system right after the collision, assuming
the two vehicles become entangled
m/s
(b) the change in velocity for both vehicles
| Δvtruck | = m/s |
| Δvcar | = m/s |
(c) the change in kinetic energy of the system, from the instant
before impact (when the compact car is traveling at 5.78 m/s) to
the instant right after the collision
ΔKE = J

1. What are the physiological advantages of a heart that is divided into four chambers?
2. Discuss what would happen to a human that is born with a heart in which the septum that separates the heart atria has a hole.
A person has been fasting overnight and when this person wakes up the person drinks a regular Coca-Cola for breakfast. The graph below indicates the changes in blood glucose levels over time right before (1) the person drinks the Coca-Cola and 20 minutes after (2), as well as 3 hours after (3) the person drinks the coke.
3. Discuss from a physiological perspective why the glucose levels change in (1), (2), and (3).
4. Is there anything else you can conclude from these data?

Man-U-Facturing Inc. will buy a machine that has a cost of $850,000 and is expected to be useful for 10 years. At the end of the 10th year, the firm intends to sell the machine for an estimated price of $52,036. In addition, the yearly benefits are expected to be $201,952 while the annual maintenance costs are predicted to be $51,300. The company uses a 9% interest rate for this project and it is currently being taxed at a flat tax rate of 21%. This time assume that Man-U-Facturing Inc. uses straight-line depreciation. What is the after-tax benefit-cost ratio?
using straight-line depreciation. What is the after-tax net present value (NPV)?
using straight-line depreciation. What is the before-tax net present value (NPV)?

A 10 g marble slides to the left at a speed of 0.4 m/s along a frictionless surface. It has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger, 30 g marble sliding to the right at 0.2 m/s. Since the collision is head-on, all motion is along the x-axis.
a. Find the total kinetic energy AND the total momentum before the collision
b. The marbles bounce off each other elastically. Each marble has a different velocity after the collision. The lighter marble ends up with a velocity with a magnitude five times that of the heavier marble. Find the velocity of each marble after the collision.
c. Calculate the change in kinetic energy for each individual marble.
d. Calculate the change in momentum for each individual marble.
