A motorist suddenly notices a stalled car and slams on the brakes, decelerating at the rate of 6.3 m/s2. Unfortunately this isn't good enough, and a collision ensues. From the damage sustained, police estimate that the car was moving at 15 km/h at the time of the collision. They also measure the skid marks from the motorist's car to be 28 m long.

a. How fast was the motorist going when the brakes were first applied?

b. How much time elapsed from the initial braking to the collision?

Which quantities are scalars? choose all that apply a. distance b. speed c. acceleration d. velocity

During the experiment if you could triple the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new value for the critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (b) now if you halved the radius with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (c) if during the experiment, critical velocity quadrupled with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new breakaway force if its magnitude was initially f0,?

Abumper car with a mass of 250 kg is traveling at a speed of 4 m/s. this bumper car collides and sticks to a second bumper car with a mass of 250 kg, which is initially at rest. what is the final speed of these two bumper cars after the collision, assuming they remain stuck together?
