Physics VWO Quiz 1 Total Points: 16 1. At the instant the traffic light turns green a car that had been waiting at the intersection starts moving with a constant acceleration of a = 3.60 m/s2. At the same time a truck, traveling with a constant speed of u = 21.0 m/s, overtakes the car. (a) How far beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck? (3p) (b) How fast is the car traveling when it overtakes the truck? (2p) (c) At what time does the car reach the speed of the truck? (2p) (d) Sketch the x - t graph & the u - t graph for both the car and the truck (indicate one value for each graph) (4p) 2. A physics teacher tries to prove a point to his students about static friction. He places a heavy physics book with a mass of m = 5.0 kg on a table and starts lifting the table by one side, creating an incline. The book starts sliding off the table when the angle of the incline is 0 = 30°. Calculate the maximum value of the static friction coefficient u . (5p)
