An automobile is traveling on a long, straight highway at a steady 80.0 mi/h when the driver sees a wreck 190 m ahead. At that instant, she applies the brakes (ignore reaction time). Between her and the wreck are two different surfaces. First there is 100 m of ice, where the deceleration is only 1.20 m/s2 . From then on, it is dry concrete, where the deceleration is a more normal 6.80 m/s2 .
a) What was the car’s speed just after leaving the icy portion of the road?
b)What is the total distance her car travels before it comes to a stop?
c)What is the total time it took the car to stop?

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.
