Adriver in massachusetts was sent to traffic court for speeding. the evidence against the driver was that a policewoman observed the driver’s car alongside a second car at a certain moment, and the policewoman had already clocked the second car going faster than the speed limit. the driver argued, "the second car was passing me. i was not speeding." the judge ruled against the driver because, in the judge’s words, "if two cars were side by side, both of you were speeding." if you were a lawyer representing the accused driver, how would you argue this case?

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

A40.0 l tank of ammonia has a pressure of 12.7 kpa. calculate the. volume of the ammonia if it’s pressure is changed to 8.4 kpa while its temperature remains constant.

A1-lb collar is attached to a spring and slides without friction along a circular rod in a vertical plane. the spring has an undeformed length of 5 in. and a constant k =25 lb/ft. knowing that the collar is released from being held at a determine, the speed of the collar and the normal force between the collar and the rod as the collar passes through b.
