    2. Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses 2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.3 ✕ 108 J per gallon.) (a) What is the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? N (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many...

    A runaway railroad car, with mass 2.4 · 105 kg, coasts across a level track at 3.0 m/s when it collides with a spring-loaded bumper at the end of the track. If the spring constant of the bumper is 1.6 · 106 N/m, what is the maximum compression of the spring during the collision? (Assume the collision is elastic.)

    3.0 - 6.00 m ASSO 13.0-kg block is released from point A with initial speed of -2.0 m/s ( block is given a push up or down the ramp). The track is frictionless except for the portion between points B and C which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2,000 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.20 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the...

    A mini train is moving at a constant speed along a straight, horizontal track. The train consists of an engine, which is in front, and one car that is being towed by the engine by a cable. The engine and car are not touching. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of between the engine and the track, and between the car and the track. The coefficient is the same for both; it is 0.100. The engine has a mass...

    An 18000 kg freight car rests against a spring bumper at the end of a railroad track. The spring has constant k=3.2×10^5 N/m. The car is hit by a second car of 9400 kg mass moving at 8.0 m/s , and the two couple together. Find the maximum compression of the spring. Find the speed of the two cars when they rebound together from the spring.
