This question is typical on some driver license exams: A car moving at 43 km/h skids 17 m with locked brakes. How far will the c

ar skid with locked brakes at 129 km/h? Assume that energy loss is due only to sliding friction.
Answer in units of m.

The new stopping distance is 152.6 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where in the initial situation, we have:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 43 km/h = 11.9 m/s is the initial velocity

s = 17 m is the stopping distance

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-(11.9)^2}{2(17)}=-4.2 m/s^2

The acceleration depends only on the sliding friction: this means that it is constant also in the second situation, where we have

u = 129 km/h = 35.8 m/s

So we can use the same equation again to find s, the new stopping distance:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(35.8)^2}{2(-4.2)}=152.6 m

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Since the paper is wadded up tight, and if there's any

air resistance left we assume there isn't any, it might

just as well be a stone that's tossed.  This is just a

stripped down projectile situation.

You said "an angle of 36 degrees", but you didn't say relative

to what.  I'll assume that it's 36 degrees above horizontal, and

now I'll proceed to answer the question with the information that

I just gave myself.

-- The vertical component of the velocity is  1.4 sin(36)

                                                                        = 0.823 m/s up.

-- The projectile rises for (0.823/9.8) second, runs out of gas,

and then falls for another (0.823/9.8) second to its original height.

So it's in the air for

                                  2 (0.823/9.8) = 0.168 second

                                                            (not very long at all)

-- The horizontal component of the velocity is  1.4 cos(36)

                                                                           = 1.133 m/s  

                                                             and it doesn't change.

-- During the 0.168 second that it's in the air,

the wad travels horizontally

                                              (0.168 s) x (1.133 m/s)

                                          =            0.19 meter

                                              (19 cm, ~ 7.5 inches)

If you find my mistake on this one, please please tell me.  

As of now, it looks like with that velocity at that angle, your

paper wad only makes it 7.5 inches from your hand into the can.
