At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 98 m long. it was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.40. use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.

The speed of the car was 28 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The initial kinetic energy of the car, KE, is equal to the negative work, W, done by friction to bring the car to stop. Let´s write the work-energy theorem:

W = ΔKE = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

In this case, the final kinetic energy is zero, then:

W = - initial kinetic energy

Since the work done by friction is negative (the work is done in opposite direction to the movement of the car), then:

Wfr = initial kinetic energy

The work done by friction is calculated as follows:

Wfr = Fr · d

Where:

Fr = friction force.

d = distance.

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Fr = N · μ

Where:

N = normal force.

μ = coefficient of friction

Since the only vertical forces acting on the car are the weight of the car and the normal force, and the car is not being accelerated in the vertical direction, the normal force has to be equal to the weight of the car (with opposite sign).

Then the friction force can be written as follows:

Fr = m · g · μ

Where:

m = mass of the car.

g =  acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

The work done by friction will be:

W = m · g · μ · d

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE =  1/2 · m · v²

Where

m = mass of the car.

v = speed.

Then:

W = KE

m · g · μ · d = 1/2 · m · v²

2 · g · μ · d = v²

2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.40 · 98 m = v²

v = 28 m/s

The speed of the car was 28 m/s.

the following is queen elizabeth’s purposes:

- to encourage the parliament that the technique of picking successors to the seat based merely on birthright needs to be reviewed.

- (not) to convince the parliament that her kid should not be measured as a likely choice for heir to the english power.

- to persuade the parliament that merely since she has a child does not assure that the kid will be a capable leader.

- to sway the parliament how shattering it could be if they proceeded discourteously concerning her or her child.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
