The Pacific plate collides with and is subducted under four other crustal plates. The area where this happens has lots of volcanic activity. This area is called the Ring of Fire. This is a place under the Pacific Ocean and it has numerous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and so this region is called the Ring of Fire. In this place there are about 450 active and dormant volcanoes and it is almost 75 percent of the volcanoes present in our earth.

You are the juror of a case involving a drunken driver whose 1041 kg sports car ran into a stationary 1928 kg station wagon stop

mina [271]

1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g
2. Find the acceleration due to friction:
F = m*a = μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t²
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:

m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash

m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s
