It is friction that provides the force for a car to accelerate, so for high-performance cars the factor that limits acceleration isn't the engine; it's the tires. you may want to review ( pages 138 - 142) . part a for typical rubber-on-concrete friction, what is the shortest time in which a car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph? suppose that μs=1.00 and μk=0.80.

Contrast the force of gravity between these pairs of objects a 1 kg mass and a 2 kg mass that are 1 m apart and two 2 kg masses that are 1 m apart

Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid
