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 gymnast is attempting to perform splits. As she does this, you can assume that the force between her feet and the ground is directed only along her legs. She has a mass of 53 kg and the distances in the figure are given below. The distance values are a = 0.81, and h = 0.21.
From the information given in the figure, calculate the magnitude of the force, in newtons, exerted on each foot by the floor.
the kinetic friction force that a horizontal surface exerts on a 60 kg object is 50 N. If the initial speed of the object of 25 m/s, what of the distance that it will slide before coming to a stop?
