At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88m long. The accident was occurred on a rainy day, and the coefficient of kinetic friction was estimated to be 0.46. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes

Kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force (Eq. 5.9). Why should there be an intimate connection between these two forces?
Typically, a bullet leaves a standard 45-caliber pistol (5.0-in. barrel) at a speed of 262m/s.If it takes 1 ms to traverse the barrel ,determine the average acceleration experienced by the 16.2g bullet within the gun and then compute the average force exerted on it .
An airplane of 5,000kg, traveling at 30m/s West slows down to stop in 450 m. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the jeepney if the frictional force on the tire is 350N?
Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk = µkN ) is a = g(sinθ − µkcosθ). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (µk = 0).
"If the coeffecient of kinetic friction between tires and pavement is 0.80, what is the shortest distance in which you can stop a car by locking the breaks when traveling at 28.7 m/s?"
You are driving a car at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a straight level road. As you approach anintersection, the stoplight turns red and you slam on breaks and the wheels lock and you skid to a stop in25.0 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road?
Paleontologists estimate that if a Tyrannosaurus rex had tripped and fallen, the ground would have exerted anormal force of approximately 260,000 N on its torso as it landed.Assuming the torso has a mass of 3800 kg, (a) find the magnitudeof the torso’s upward acceleration as it comes to rest. (For comparison, humans lose consciousness with an acceleration of about 7g.)(b) Assuming the torso of a T. rex is in free fall for a distance of 1.46m as it falls to the ground, how much time is required for the torsoto come to rest once it contacts the ground?
Suppose a car accelerates from 69 to 112 km/h? By what percent does the drag force on a car increase?
Consider an aircraft that takes off at 260 km/h when it is fully loaded. If the weight of the aircraft is increased by 10 percent as a result of overloading, determine the speed at which the overloaded aircraft will take off.
Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk=μkN)fk=μkN) is a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ).a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (μk=0).(μk=0).
The driver of a car applies the brakes, and the car starts to skid. If the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the ground is 0.7, then what acceleration does the car experience?
Calculate the force of friction acting on a 3 kg object on Earth with a coefficient of friction of 0.15 using the equation Ff=μFN.
