Two cars A and B slide on an icy road as they attempt to stop at a traffic light. The mass of A is 1100 kg and the mass of B is 1400 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked wheels of both cars and the road is 0.130. Car A succeeds in corning to rest at the light, but car B cannot stop and rear-ends car A. After the collision, A comes to rest 8.20 m ahead of the impact point and B 6.10 m ahead: see Fig. Both drivers had their brakes locked throughout the incident. (a) From the distances each car moved after the collision, find the speed of each car immediately after impact. (b) Use conservation of momentum to find the speed at which car B struck car A. On what grounds can the use of momentum conservation be criticized here?

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
