As you drive your car along a country road at night, a deer jumps out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road ahead of you. this occurs just as you are passing from a 55-mi/h zone to a 50-mi/h zone. at the 50-mi/h speed-limit sign, you slam on the car's brakes, causing them to lock up, and skid to a stop inches from the startled deer. as you breathe a sigh of relief, you hear the sound of a police siren. the policeman proceeds to write you a ticket for driving 56 mi/h in 50-mi/h zone. because of your preparation in physics, you are able to use the 33.5-m-long skid marks that your car left behind as evidence that you were not speeding. based on your evidence, at what speed were you actually driving? (the coefficient of friction between between automobile tires and dry concrete is 0.80.)

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
