- When you learn to drive, you discover that you need to let up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and kinetic friction.arrow_forwardA woman was transporting an open box of cupcakes to a school party. The car in front of her stopped suddenly; she applied her brakes immediately. She was wearing her seat belt and suffered no physical harm (just a great deal of embarrassment), but the cupcakes flew into the dashboard and became “smushcakes.” Explain what happened.arrow_forwardYou are riding a luxury bus. In front of you is a cup of tea resting on the seat-back tray. Which of the following events may lead to spilled tea in your lap? The bus a. remains at rest, b. moves at constant velocity, c. speeds up or d. slows down. Dont worry about other circumstances such as a person knocking your cup over.

Explain.arrow_forwardReturning from the grocery store with sacks on the back seat of your car, you ride along smoothly and they stay in place. However, a driver from a side road does not see you approaching and pulls out in front of you, leaving just enough time for you to slam on the brakes and avoid a major wreck. You are safe, held in place by a seatbelt (the airbag did not deploy!), but you are intrigued to use physics to explain the outcome for your groceries. Pick the best approach, where Newton's laws are easily applied. Position an observer who is stationary or moving at a constant speed outside your car It does not matter where the observer is or how they are moving Start from your frame of reference inside the car, ignore the deceleration as you brake Newton's laws never apply in this circumstancearrow_forward
