You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped a

t a red light along a road headed down a hill. You find that the slope of the hill is θ= 12.0°, that the cars were separated by distance d = 24.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that the speed of car A at the onset of braking was Vo= 18.0 m/s.
With what speed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was (a) 0.60 (dry road surface) and (b) 0.10 (road surface covered with wet leaves)?

Answer:

Explanation:

a Downward acceleration of car A along the slope

= g sinθ - μ g cosθ

= g ( sinθ - μ  cosθ)

= 9.8 ( sin 12 - .6 x cos 12 )

= 9.8 x ( .2079 - .5869 )

= - 3.714 m / s²

So there will be deceleration

v² = u² - 2 a s

= 18² - 2 x 3.714 x 24

= 324 - 178

= 146

v = 12 .08 m /s

b )

In the second case , kinetic friction changes

downward acceleration

= g ( sinθ - μ  cosθ)

= 9.8 ( sin12 - .1 x cos 12 )

9.8 ( .2079  -  .0978 )

= 1.079 m /s

there will be reduced acceleration

v² = u² - 2 a s

= 18² +2 x1.079 x 24

= 324 + 52

= 376

v = 19.4  m /s

Answer:

Spirit of St. Louis

Explanation:

Charles Lindbergh was known as a prolific aviator during the early twentieth century. He is well known for the flight he took from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France. It was a continuous flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

The plane he used was the Spirit of St. Louis which took more than 33 hours to complete the journey. It was the first successful flight of this kind. The airplane flew from Long Island on May 20 and landed in Paris on May 21.
