Explanation:
Vnet = 0.4m/s - 3.0m/s = - 2.6m/s
so the man walks 2.6m/s towards the west
At the lowest point of its motion, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum. This is where the velocity is a maximum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum (i.e. zero) and potential energy is maximum.
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider
Explanation:
Part a)
By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

now we will have


now we have



Part b)
At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

at minimum speed




So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider
Answer:
From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to
1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.
2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity
3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.
4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.
5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.
