During the investigation of a traffic accident, police find skid marks 150.0 m long. They determine the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the roadway to be 0.500 for the prevailing conditions. Estimate the speed of the car when the brakes were applied.

Skid marks left by the driver are 56.0 m long and the roadway is level. Tires matching those on the car of the driver have been dragged over the same roadway to determine that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the roadway is 0.82 at all points along the skid mark. The speed limit on the road is 35 mi/h
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 112 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.42. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 102m long. The accident was occurred on a rainy day, and the coefficient of kinetic friction was estimated to be 0.36. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. a.)Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A car drives onto a section of the road which is covered in ice. The driver attempts to stop by hitting the brakes but the wheels lock and the car skids for another 60 m. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the ice if the initial speed of the car was 40 km/hr.
Police examine the scene of an accident involving two cars, which is parked. The skid marks of the moving car, which nearly came to a stop before the collision, is 80 meters long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and the pavement is about 0.80. Estimate the initial speed of the car.
Traveling at a speed of 12.1 m/s, the driver of an automobile suddenly locks the wheels by slamming on the brakes. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.620. What is the speed of the automobile after 1.17 s have elapsed? Ignore the effects of air resistance.
The driver of a car applies the brakes, and the car starts to skid. If the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the ground is 0.7, then what acceleration does the car experience?
Question 9. Traveling at a speed of 16.1 m/s, the driver of an automobile suddenly locks the wheels by slamming on the brakes. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.590. What is the speed of the automobile after 1.21 s have elapsed? Ignore the effects of air resistance. Ans: 9.1 m/s
Express answers in significant figures and scientific notation only. An athlete slides down from rest 40.0 meter along an icy hill which is 35 degrees from the horizontal. He then continues sliding on the level ice. a) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the athlete and ice is 0.20 (neglect air resistance) find speed (m/s) of the athlete at the foot of the plane. b) find the distance (m) from the foot of the plane to the point where he has landed to the level ice
A 100-kg bale of hay falls of a truck traveling along a level road at 24.4 m/s. It lands flat on the road and slides 100 m before coming to rest. Assume the acceleration is constant, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the hay. {µk = 0.30}
