You are driving your 1500 kg car at 20 m/s down a hill with a 5.0° slope when a deer suddenly jumps out onto the road- way. You slam on your brakes, skidding to a stop. How far do you skid before stopping if the kinetic friction force between your tires and the road is 1.2 × 104 N? Solve this problem using work and energy.

Review. The mass of a car is 1 500 kg. The shape of the cars body is such that its aerodynamic drag coefficient is D = 0.330 and its frontal area is 2.50 m2. Assuming the drag force is proportional to v2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.

Spiderman, whose mass is 80.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb above. By repeatedly bending at the waist, he is able to get the rope in motion, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 60.0 angle with the vertical. How much work was done by the gravitational force on Spiderman in this maneuver?
