A 70.0 kg base runner moving at a speed of 4.0 m/s begins his slide into second base. The coefficient of friction between his clothes and Earth is 0.70. His slide lowers his speed to zero just as he reaches the base. How much mechanical energy is lost because of friction acting on the runner? A. 1100 J B. 560 J C. 140 J D. 0J 8. How far does the runner slide? F. 0.29 m G. 0.57 m H. 0.86 m J. 1.2 m

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.

Avehicle has an oil leak that is causing the entire oil pan to be wet, but inspection reveals no exact source after cleaning off the oil residue. technician a says to install a fluorescent dye in the crankcase and operate the engine, then re-inspect for leaks with a special light (black light). technician b says the oil leak may be coming from a source at the top of the engine, such as a valve cover gasket. who is correct?

Suppose a soccer ball is kicked from the ground at an angle 20.0º above the horizontal at 8.00 m/s. the y-velocity is determined to be 2.74 m/s. how long will the ball be in the air? assume the ball lands at the same height at which it was kicked.
