A person is driving their car on the highway at 27 m/s and they notice a car stall in the middle of the road while crossing the highway. They take 0.55 seconds to react and then slam on the brakes. They skid to a stop. If the friction constant k is 0.11, then what is their total stopping distance? (Include both reaction distance and braking distance.

The ballistic pendulum was invented in 1742 by english mathematician benjamin robins. it consists of an initially stationary pendulum that moves after being struck by a bullet, and it is used to measure the original velocity of the bullet. the known variables are the bullet's mass m, the pendulum's mass m, and the height to which the block and bullet swing, determined by the length of the pendulum l and final angle θ. two principles of physics are necessary to solve for the bullet's original velocity. what are these principles? conservation of momentum and newton's third law conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% conservation of momentum and newton's second law. newton's second law and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of energy and newton's third law conservation of momentum and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of momentum and conservation of energy conservation of energy and newton's second law.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. what is the total momentum of the system before the train cars collide?   kg • what must the total momentum of the system be after the train cars collide?   kg •  

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
