### Problem DescriptionA 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where the coefficient of kinetic friction (\(\mu_k\)) is 0.16.#### Part A**Question:** How fast was the car traveling if it leaves 55-meter-long skid marks?**Instructions:** Express your answer with the appropriate units.**Input Fields:** - \( v = \) [Value] [Units]---In order to solve this problem, you will need to apply the principles of physics related to friction and motion. Use the coefficient of kinetic friction and the mass of the car to find the initial velocity before the skid. You may need to apply the work-energy principle or equations of motion that incorporate frictional force. **Hint:** Consider using \(\mu_k\) to calculate the deceleration and then apply kinematic equations to find the initial speed.

You are trying to escape a hoard of zombies and must make an elevator to get down a cliff as fast as possible. As you cannot hit the ground faster than 10m/s and the cliff is 25m deep, this limits your acceleration to 2 m/s2 (you will want to accelerate at this rate to get down the cliff as fast as you can). Assuming your and the bucket’s mass together is 100kg (m2) , what is the minimum mass (m1) that the sled must be to prevent your death (assume the ground is frictionless).
