Why are road accidents at high speeds very much worse than accidents at low speeds?

What happens to a person travelling in a bus when the bus takes a sharp turn? Give reason.

What would happen if high speed winds blow over a house having weak roof? Give reason for your answer.

A train(T) is running uniformly on a straight track. A car is travelling with constant speed along section AB of the road which is parallel to the rails. The driver of the car notices that the train is having a speed of 7 m//s with respect to him. The car maintains the speed but takes a right turn at B and travels along BC. Now the driver of the car finds that the speed of train relative of him is 13 m//s . Find the possible speeds of the car.

A car initially travelling eastwards turns noth by travelling in a quarter circular path of radius R metres at uniform speed as shown in figure. The car completes the turn in T second. (a) What is the acceleration of the car when it is at B located at an angle of 37^(@) . Express your a swers in terms of unit vectors hat(i) and hat(j) . (b) The magnitude of car's average acceleration during T second period.

A car is moving along a banked road laid out as a circle of radius r . (a) What should be the banking angle theta so that the car travelling at speed v needs no frictional force from tyres to negotiate the turn ? (b) The coefficient of friction between tyres and road are mu_(s) = 0.9 and mu_(k) = 0.8 . At what maximum speed can a car enter the curve without sliding toward the top edge of the banked turn ?

A student is running at her top speed of 5.0 m s^(-1) , to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still 40.0m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m s^(-2) . a For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.0 m s^(-1) before she overtakes the bus? b. When she reached the bus, how fast was the bus travelling? c. Sketch an x-t graph for bothe the student and the bus. d. Teh equations uou used in part (a)to find the time have a second solution, corresponding to a later time for which the student and the bus are again at thesame place if they continue their specified motions. Explain the significance of this second solution. How fast is the bus travelling at this point? e. If the student s top speed is 3.5 m s^(-1), will she catch the bus? f. What is the minimum speed the student must have to just catch up with the bus?For what time and what distance dies she have to run in that case?

Explain why? (a) a horse cannot pull a cart and run in empty space. (b) passengers are thrown forward from their seats when a speeding bus tops suddenly (c) It is easier to pull a lawn mower than to push it. (d)a cricketer moves his hands backwards while holding a catch
