As you drive your car along a country road at night, a deer jumps out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road ahead of you. This occurs just as you are passing from a 55-mi/h zone to a 50-mi/h zone. At the 50-mi/h speed-limit sign, you slam on the car’s brakes, causing them to lock up, and skid to a stop inches from the startled deer. As you breathe a sigh of relief, you hear the sound of a police siren. The policeman proceeds to write you a ticket for driving 56 mi/h in 50-mi/h zone. Because of your preparation in physics, you are able to use the 25-m-long skid marks that your car left behind as evidence that you were not speeding. What evidence do you present? You must use work/energy methods to solve this problem!The coefficientsof friction between car tires and dry concrete are (s=1.0, k=0.80).
