You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u. s. legal proceeding.)

Dinate system, and a charge q = - 2.00 nc is placed s2 10 n> c. (a) what is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to es from parallel to perpendicular? (b) at what absolute temperature t is the average translational kinetic energy 32 kt of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part(: abovethistemperature,thermalagitationprevents the dipoles from aligning with the electric field.) placed in a uniform electric field e with magnitude 1.6 * 6 on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) if a third charge q3 = +6.00 nc is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) find the magnitude and direction of figure p21.62 ll uu 21.55 . torque on a dipole. an electric dipole with dipole moment ps is in a uniform external electric field es. (a) find the orientations of the dipole for which the torque on the dipole is zero. (b) which of the orientations in part (a) is stable, and which is unstable? (hint: consider a small rotation away from the equi- librium position and see what happens.) (c) show that for the stable orientation in part (b), the dipole’s own electric field tends to oppose the external field. 21.62 ..

During which interval are the persons represented by the graph not moving? a) 0 to 0.5 hrs b) 1.5 to 2 hrs c) 2 to 2.5 hrs d) 4.5 to 5 hrs

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.70 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.700 m. the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart. a. how fast are the waves traveling? b. what is the amplitude a of each wave?
