PROBLEM 1: A car travels a 10-degree inclined road at a speed of 20 ft/s. The driver then applies the break and tires skid marks were made on the pavement at a distance "s". If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels of the 3500-pound car and the road is 0.5, determine the skid mark distance.

Two identical billiard balls may move freely on a horizontal table. Ball A has a velocity of 0.4 m/s as shown, and hits ball B, which is at rest, at point C defined by  = 40 (the line of impact is along 40° path with respect to the horizontal direction). Assuming no friction, and knowing the coefficient of restitution between the two balls is 0.75, determine the velocity of each ball after impact
