You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accidentin which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped ata red light along a road headed down a hill. You findthat the slope of the hill is u = 12.0, that the cars were separatedby distance d =24.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into aslide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that thespeed of car A at the onset of braking was v0 =18.0 m/s.With whatspeed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was(a) 0.60 (dry road surface) and (b) 0.10 (road surface covered withwet leaves)?
