This question is typical on some driver’s license exams: a car moving at 46 km/h skids
17 m with locked brakes.
how far will the car skid with locked brakes
at 138 km/h? assume that energy loss is due
only to sliding friction.
answer in units of m.

How are series and parallel circuits simililar? both have multiple paths for electrons to travel. both require resistors in their circuits. both require a switch to complete the circuit. both have at least one path for electrons to travel.

Light traveling in water, nwater = 1.33, strikes a plastic block at an angle of incidence of 51.4°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. if the index of refraction of the plastic is 2.0, what is the angle made by the reflected and refracted beams?

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
