You're driving along at 25 m/s with your aunt's valuable antiques in the back of your pickup truck when suddenly you see a giant hole in the road 55 m ahead of you. Fortunately, your foot is right beside the brake and your reaction time is zero! Can you stop without the antiques sliding and being damaged? Their coefficients of friction are μs=0.6 and μk=0.3. Hint: You're not trying to stop in the shortest possible distance. What's your best strategy for avoiding damage to the antiques?

What properties of a moving object are used in determining the object's energy of motion

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?

Match each type of lever with the correct diagram. 1. first-class 2. third-class 3. second-class
