The brakes are applied to a 750 kg car traveling 30 m/s and the car skids to a stop. The coefficient of sliding friction between rubber tires and wet pavement is 0.50.
a) Draw an FBD of the car.
b) Write out Fnet - ma for the horizontal direction and include applicable force(s).
c) What is the size and direction of the force of friction that the road exerts on the car?
d) What would be the acceleration of the car?
e) How far does it travel before it comes to a stop?
