A 1200kg car traveling at 45m/s slams on its breaks and slides to a stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car and the road is 0.85 determine how far the car slides

Given :

A 1200 kg car travelling at 45 m/s slams on its breaks and slides to a stop.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car and the road is 0.85 .

To Find :

How far the car slides.

Solution :

Acceleration is given by :

Distance covered is :

Therefore, distance covered is 119.12 m.

Hence, this is the required solution.
