Assume that you are driving down a hill in Jabaal Akhdar in a winter season. The inclination of the hill e is 7.8degrees. The roads are covered partially with ice (coefficient of kinetic friction µ, = 0.2). When you apply thebrake, the car sliding down to stop from an initial speed of 15 m/s. What is the stopping distance of the car (inm)? Hint: final velocity of car = 0.Note: write the answer with one decimal place.

A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.
