In January 2003, an 18-year-old student gained a bit of fame for surviving with only minor injuries-a remarkable traffic
accident. The vehicle he was driving was "clipped" by another one, left the road, and rolled several times. He was thrown
upward from the vehicle (he wasn't wearing a seat belt) and ended up dangling from an overhead telephone cable and a
ground wire about 8 meters above the ground. Rescuers got him down after 20 minutes. It is estimated that he reached a
maximum height of about 10 meters.
(a) Estimate the driver's vertical speed when he was thrown from the vehicle.
m/s
(b) If he had not landed in the wires, how fast would he have been going when he hit the ground?
m/s

The coulomb's law explains which of the following? select all the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the distance separating them. the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance separat coulomb's law is similar to newton's 2nd law. if the force between two objects is f and the charge on both objects is doubled, the new force between the would now be 2f. if the force between two objects is 2f and the distance separating them is doubled, the new force between the objects would now o the be zf.
