- Forensic Science Forensic science is the application of scientific techniques and methodology to discover the cause of a particular event such as an accident. Modern forensics have been used to solve historic crimes and mysteries such as the cause of death of King Tutankhamen of ancient Egypt and composer Ludwig van Beethoven in 1827. Forensic evidence is often admitted into a court case. For example, skid marks at an accident scene are used to find the initial speed of a car. Explain why skid marks are left by the car and how they may be used to find the cars initial speed.arrow_forwardConsider a child holding a helium balloon in a closed car at rest. What would the child observe the balloon to do when the car (a) accelerates from rest and (b) brakes to a stop? (The balloon does not touch the roof of the car.)arrow_forwardA car rounds a curve and encounters a patch of ice with a very low coefficient of kinetic fiction. The car slides off the road. Describe the path of the car as it leaves the road.arrow_forward
- An athlete grips a light rope that passes over a low-friction pulley attached to tire ceiling of a gym. A sack of sand precisely equal in weight to the athlete is tied to the other end of the rope. Both the sand and the athlete are initially at rest. The athlete climbs the rope, sometimes speeding up and slowing down as he does so. What happens to the sack of sand? Explain.arrow_forwardTwenty people participate in a tug-of-war. The two teams of ten people are so evenly matched that neither team wins. After the game they notice that a car is stuck in the mud. They attach the tug-of-war rope to the bumper of the car, and all the people pull on the rope. The heavy car has just moved a couple of decimeters when the rope breaks. Why did the rope break in this situation when it did not break when the same twenty people pulled on it in a tug-of-war?arrow_forwardTrain Collision and Newtons First Law A group of college students discusses the train collision case study. Use Newtons first law to decide which underlined statements are correct and which are false. Explain your answers. Shannon: This newspaper says that the people who got really hurt were either standing up or sitting in a forward-facing seat. Those people got thrown forward when the train stopped. Avi: Thats why there are seat belts in cars. If you get into a crash, the force can throw you through the windshield. Cameron: There is no force that throws you through the windshield. You fly through the windshield because you are already moving and it would take a force to stop you from going forward. Thats why theres a seat belt. Avi: That doesnt make sense. Because then you would need a force to stop you from flying through the windshield even when you just stop slowly at a red light. Cameron: Thats right, but when you slow down slowly, you dont need such a big force and the car seat can take care of it. Shannon: The seat? I dont think a seat can exert a force. It cant move on its own or hold you. Thats why the people who were sitting forward on the train were hurt. The people who were sitting backward had the back of the seat to block them.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardReview. A hockey puck struck by a hockey stick is given an initial speed i in the positive x direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the puck is k. (a) Obtain an expression for the acceleration of the puck as it slides across the ice. (b) Use the result of part (a) to obtain an expression for the distance d the puck slides. The answer should be in terms of the variables k and g only.arrow_forward
- A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts (3.50103s). (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?arrow_forwardIf you lower the window on a car while moving, an empty plastic bag can sometimes fly out the window. Why does this happen?arrow_forwardA boat with initial speed υ0 is launched on a lake. The boat is slowed by the water by a force F = −αeβυ. (a) Find an expression for the speed υ(t). (b) Find the time and (c) distance for the boat to stop.arrow_forward
