A 2300 kg car moving at an initial speed of 25 m/s along a horizontal road skids to a stop in 50 m. (Note: When stopping without skidding and using conventional brakes, 100 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated by friction within the brakes. With regenerative braking, such as that used in hybrid vehicles, only 70 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated.) (a) Find the energy dissipated by friction. 718750 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. kJ (b) Find...

Traveling at 40.2 m/s, a driver applies the brakes to his fast-moving car and skids out of control on a wet concrete horizontal road. The 2000 kg car is headed directly toward a student waiting to catch a bus to campus who is standing 58.0 m down the road. Luckily, Superman is flying overhead and surveys the situation. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and rough wet concrete is .800, he determines that friction alone will not...

Bob is driving his car at 20 m/s down a hill with a slope of 5 degrees. When a deer suddenly jumps out of the woods onto the road, he slams on the brakes, and the car skids to a stop. The mass of the car is 1500 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is µk = 0.816. a) (3 points) Draw a free-body diagram for the car. b) (3 points) Determine the...

While driving down the street, your friend’s car was hit by a truck from behind.  The mass of your friend’s car is 1500 kg while the truck is 1800kg.  Your friend was driving 25 mph or 11.2 m/s. Assume that collision causes both cars to stick together and they do not supply additional power to the wheels after the collision. After the collision, the two cars slide to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65 for the car and truck...

A 930 kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300 kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 3.1 m before stopping. The police officer, knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road is 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. What was that speed?
