Acar is traveling at 53.0 mi/h on a horizontal highway. (a) if the coefficient of static friction between road and tires on a rainy day is 0.104, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop?

How does the image distance (di) of a convex lens compare with the image distance of a concave lens? a. the image distance of the convex lens is positive, and that of the concave lens is negative. b. both are negative for a virtual image. c. both are positive for a virtual image d. the image distance of the convex lens is negative, and that of the concave lens is positive.

The car hoist allows the car to be driven onto the platform, after which the rear wheels are raised. if the loading from both rear wheels is 1380 lb, determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder ab. neglect the weight of the platform itself. member bcd is a right-angle bell crank pinned to the ramp at c. the force is positive if in tension, negative if in compression.
