Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steelbeams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load mayslide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly inan accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck movingat 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to thetruck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbedof the truck. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distancefor which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.(b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on colli-sion between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Whyis this? Many people imagine that the collision forceexerted on the car is much greater than that exerted onthe truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that thecar is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This ideaof unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton’s third lawtells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of thesame magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two driv-ers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 8.00 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 80.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4 000 kg for the truck. If the colli-sion time is 0.120 s, what…
