A car has a mass of 1750 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 6500 N. If the car is moving at 22 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?
A block is given an initial velocity of 5.00m/s up a frictionless incline of angle θ=20.0 0. How far up the incline does the block slide before coming to rest?
A block with an initial velocity of 24 m/s slides along a surface with a friction coefficient of 0.30. How far does the block slide before it comes to rest?
