today is my first day here so if i violate any rule that apply in this forum please forgive me..
the question is
Dr. Silverstein is driving a 1.95 * 10^3 kg car at 55.0Km/hr. He slams on the brakes and comes to rest in a distance of 17.0 m Assume that Dr. Silverstein has a mass of 75.0 kg
a) what is the cars acceleration, assuming forward is positive?
b) what is the force of friction acting on the wheels of the car? ( hint, what is the mass that is being stopped?)
c) Assuming Dr.Silverstein is well buckled in, what is the force that his seat belt exerts on him?
these three questions i don't understand...my professor give homework pretty easy questions..but not these..please help me
thank you in advance..
