You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid castward with their wheels locked for 18.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. What speed (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.) UF mph
Tom reached a speed of 29 m/s in the downhill skiing competition. Suppose he left the slope at that speed and then slid freely along a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between his feet and the ground was 0.27 and his final speed was half of his initial speed, find the distance he traveled?

A light plane of mass 1000kg makes an emergency landing on a short runway. With its engine off, it lands on the runway at a speed of 40m⋅s-1 . A hook on the plane snags a cable attached to a 120kg sandbag and drags the sandbag along. If the coefficient of friction between the sandbag and the runway is µk = 0.4, and if the plane’s brakes give an additional retarding force of magnitude 1400N, how far does the plane go before it comes to a stop?

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the drive force is shut off, the snowmobile coasts to a halt. The snowmobile and its rider have a mass of 139 kg. Under the influence of a drive force of 180 N, it is moving at a constant velocity whose magnitude is 5.43 m/s. The drive force is then shut off. Find (a) the distance in which the snowmobile coasts to a halt and (b) the time required to do so. (a) S = (b) t = i i
