A 920-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,

and the two cars skid forward 2.4 m before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. What was the speed of the sports car at impact?

Answer:21.45 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sport car=920 kg

Mass of SUV=2300 kg

distance to which both car skid is 2.4 m

coefficient of friction (\mu)=0.8

Let u be the initial velocity of both car at the starting of skidding

and they finally come to zero velocity

v^2-u^2=2as

acceleration=\mu g=0.8\times 9.8=7.84 m/s^2

s=2.4 m

0-(u)^2=2\times (-7.84)\times 2.4

u=6.13 m/s

so before colliding sport car must be travelling at a speed of

920\times v=(920+2300)\times 6.13  (conserving momentum)

v=21.45 m/s

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.

An oblique rectangular prism with a square base has a volume of 539 cubic units. The edges of the prism measure 7 by 7 by 14 uni
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3 units

Solution:

V=539 cubic units

Square base, with edge a=7 units

Slanted edge length: s=14 units

V=Ab h

Ab=49 square units

539 cubic units = (49 square units) h

h= 11 units

s-h=14 units-11 units

s-h=3 units

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene
