8. When the driver applies the brakes of a light truck traveling 40 km/h, it skids 3 m before stopping. How far will the truck skid if it is traveling 80 km/h when the brakes are applied? Also, if upon the application of brakes, the distance between the truck and the man is 12.3 m, will the man be hit by truck?

When a relay runner A enters the exchange zone, s = 23 m long, with a speed of 12.9 m/s it begins to decelerate. He hands the baton to runner B 1.71 s later, and his teammate leaves the exchange zone with the same velocity. Determine the moment when runner B should start running.
Car B is towing car A at a constant speed of 10 m/s on an uphill grade when the brakes of car A are fully applied causing all four wheels to skid. The driver of car B does not change the throttle setting or change gears. The masses of the cars A and B are 1400 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.8. Neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine (a) the distance traveled by the cars before they come to a stop, (b) the tension in the cable.
