If you cut off the shoulder belt in your car, preferring to have freedom to move your upper body, and you are severely injured in an accident because of your modification to the car, can you recover from the car's manufacturer?
Homework Answers
No, you can not recover from the manufacturer if with investigation he came to know that the accident occurred due to some modifications in the original version of the car. Manufacturer covers certain types of liabilities only but with conditions. If the person can prove that the accident occurred due to inbuilt probelm in the manufacturing of the car, then he may be able to claim the required amount from the manufacturer.

You look over the shoulder of your friend doing a physics problem about a car moving over a crest on a hill that approximates a circular path and the car moves with constant speed. Your friend says "I know the answer! The centripetal force plus the normal force cause the upward acceration of the car!!" You want to help out your friend, so what would you tell them? If the car has constant speed then there is no acceleration. Actually...

In order to buy a new car, you finance $32,000 with no down payment for a term of five years at an APR of 6%. After you have the car for one year, you are in an accident. No one is injured, but the car is totaled. The insurance company says that before the accident, the value of the car had decreased by 25% over the time you owned it, and the company pays you that depreciated amount after subtracting...

Seatbelts provide two main advantages in a car accident (1) they keep you from being thrown from the car and (2) they reduce the force that acts on your during the collision to survivable levels. This second benefit can be illustrated by comparing the net force encountered by a driver in a head-on collision with and without a seat belt. 1) A driver wearing a seat beat decelerates at roughly the same rate as the car itself. Since many modern...

3) Your car got stuck on a road and you now have to push it. Your car has a mass of 2000 kg. The maximum force you are able to push the car with is F-6500 N. The coefficient of static friction between the car and the road is H, 0.33 Bonus: Draw a free-body-diagram of the problem. Will you be able to move the car?

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 35 psi , but it's been a while since you've checked. You can't find a tire gauge in the car, but you do find the owner's manual and a ruler. Fortunately, you've just finished taking physics, so you tell your friend, "I don't know, but I can figure it out." From the owner's manual you find that the car's mass is...

You currently don't have a car, but rent a car that's parked just outside your house whenever you need one. Your annual expenditure on rental cars is $2,400. You've now considering purchasing a car that would give you the same level of convenience as your current life style. The car costs $28,000 and can be sold for $5,000 after 10 years. You'd purchase the car with money from your savings account which always earns an interest rate of 6%. Assume...

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. Unfortunately, you have misplaced your gauge but confident in your knowledge of physics you tell your friend “I can figure it out”. From the owner’s manual you find that the car’s mass is 1500 kg and that the tire manufacturer recommends 31 psi. Assuming that each tire supports one-fourth of the weight of the car, you use a ruler to find that the tires are 15 cm wide...

1. You have one last large 50 kg crate to move from your apt to your car and your inconsiderate roommate took the cart with him. So in order to move the crate, you tie a string to it and pull at an angle of 30° above the horizontal such that you move the crate along at a relatively constant speed. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the crate is 0.2 and the coefficient of static friction...
