Question

Suppose a car is moving along a flat piece of road.  Moreover, let us suppose that we know the coefficient of friction within the axles and wheel bearings of the car to be 

?=0.015μ=0.015

.  If the car let's off the accelerator (gas pedal) and starts rolling, and you measure that it takes the car 800 meters to roll to a stop (without using the breaks), how fast was the car moving the moment the driver removed her/his foot from the pedal? Give your answer in units of m/s, however do not include the units explicitly in your answer.  If you include units, the answer will be counted wrong.
