- You are driving along a straight section of road at 13 m/s when 10 m in front of you a furry creature jumps out into the middle of the road. You instantly slam on your breaks, but the breaks lock so that you slide along the pavement with kinetic coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement of 0.65. By what distance do you stop short of running over the furry creature or by what distance is your roadkill dinner behind you when your car finally comes to a halt? Note that the total mass of the car (including you) is 1360 kg, while the mass of the furry creature is 2.6 kg.arrow_forwardHelp with the following questionarrow_forwardTwo objects, A and B, are thrown up at the same moment of time from the same level (from the ground).
