Friction slows an object down. the brakes in your car are a good example of friction.

Solution

distance travelled by Chris

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{c}= [(\frac{21+0}{2})+(\frac{33+21}{2})+(\frac{55+47}{2})+(\frac{63+55}{2})+(\frac{70+63}{2})+(\frac{76+70}{2})+(\frac{82+76}{2})+(\frac{87+82}{2})+(\frac{91+87}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{579.5}{3600}=0.161miles

Kelly,

\Delta t=\frac{1}{3600}hr.

X_{k}=[(\frac{24+0}{2})+(\frac{3+24}{2})+(\frac{55+39}{2})+(\frac{62+55}{2})+(\frac{71+62}{2})+(\frac{79+71}{2})+(\frac{85+79}{2})+(\frac{85+92}{2})+(\frac{99+92}{2})+(\frac{103+99}{2})]\times\frac{1}{3600}

=\frac{657.5}{3600}

\Delta X=X_{k}-X_{C}=0.021miles

Complete Question:

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low ?k of 0.15) stops them, at distances dA = 6.1 m and dB = 4.4 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision? (c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during the collision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.

Answer:

a) Speed of car A at the start of sliding = 4.23 m/s

b) speed of car B at the start of sliding = 3.957 m/s

c) Speed of car B before the collision = 7.28 m/s

Explanation:

NB: The figure is not provided but all the parameters needed to solve the question have been given.

Let the frictional force acting on car A, $f_{ra} = \mu mg\\$ ............(1)

Since frictional force is a type of force, we are safe to say $f_{ra} = ma$ .......(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\\mu = 0.15\\a = 0.15 * 9.8 = 1.47 m/s^{2}$

a) Speed of A at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 6.1 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{A} = \sqrt{2ad_{A} }\\ v_{A} = \sqrt{2*1.47*6.1 } \\v_{A} = \sqrt{17.934 } \\v_{A} = 4.23 m/s$

b) Speed of B at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 4.4 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{B} = \sqrt{2ad_{B} }\\ v_{B} = \sqrt{2*1.47*4.4 } \\v_{B} = \sqrt{12.936 } \\v_{B} = 3.957 m/s$
