While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, you are pulled over by the state police. Although the log can't roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. You claim that the truck couldn't possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket anyway and now your day in court is approaching. The log has a mass of m = 829 kg; the truck has a mass of M = 9150 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 22.0 seconds, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction ?s needed to keep the log in the back of the truck. According to the scientific literature, the coefficient of static friction between the log and the trailer bed should be roughly 0.840. Given this fact, select the correct A) There is little chance the log could have slid out the back. B) The police officer is correct. The log posed a real danger. C) The results are not conclusive.

In a game of pool, ball a is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 15 ft/s when it strikes balls b and c, which are at rest and aligned as shown. knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impact (that is, conservation of energy), determine the magnitudes of the velocities va, vb, and vc.
