At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 112 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.42. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 102m long. The accident was occurred on a rainy day, and the coefficient of kinetic friction was estimated to be 0.36. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. a.)Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 75 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.39. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Answer: m/s (round to the nearest tenth)
A man was originally walking at 1.5 m/s and then reaches a speed of 8.1 m/s in 2.4 s. He estimated that his coefficient of friction was 0.30. Was it above or below this value?
A person slides a bottle with mass 0.20 kg along a level table. It leaves his hand at 2.8 m/s and comes to a halt after going 1.0 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottle and the table.
A 1.80x10^4 kg semi-trailer truck drives up a 200 m hill [θ = 30 degrees above horizontal], at a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. The force of friction is 6.00x10^2 N. Write an equation to isolate and solve for P.
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 driver in a car traveling at 23 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the horizontal road is 0.70, how long will the skid marks be?
A ski that is placed on snow will stick to the snow. However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding. Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 210 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61.0 s with standard skis to 43.0 s with the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis. Assuming a 3.40° slope, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction for (c) the standard skis and (d) the new skis. (a) Number 0.113 Units m/s^2 (b) Number 0.227 Units m/s^2 (c) Number 0.276 Units This answer has no units (d) Number i Units
A group of students carry out an experiment in which they want to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between a box and a table. For this, a wooden box is used that has a mass of 250 gr and additional masses that are placed on top. The box is pulled and the force at which it moves at constant speed is measured. Determine: a) The normal force when the box had no masses on top and when masses were placed on top of the box. (Fill in the table below) (You have to show an example of the calculation) Mass (gr) Normal Force (N) 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 b) After calculating the normal force of the box, the students proceeded to measure the force applied to the 250-gr box.
