Police investigators, examining the scene of an accident involving two cars, measure 72-m-long skid marks of one of the cars, which nearly came to a stop before colliding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and the pavement is about 0.78. Estimate the initial speed of that car assuming a level road.

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.
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.
A hockey puck on a frozen pond is given an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. If the puck always remains on the ice and slides 115 m before coming to rest, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and ice.
Alter a tornado, you decide to go check on your mother' house. You start driving down an 11 degree (from the horizontal) hill, when you notice a fallen tree blocking the road. You slam on the brakes and, as a result, your 1670 kg car starts skidding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.600. (a) Calculate your car's acceleration while skidding. (b) How long does your car take to come to a complete stop; knowing that initially it was moving at 50.0 km/h?
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
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?
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}
A skater with an initial speed of 5.90m/s stops propelling himself and begins to coast across the ice, eventually coming to rest. Air resistance is negligible. (a) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the skate blades is 0.125. Find the deceleration caused by kinetic friction. (b) How far will the skater travel before coming to rest?
You are driving a car at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a straight level road. As you approach anintersection, the stoplight turns red and you slam on breaks and the wheels lock and you skid to a stop in25.0 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road?
A 110 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15 m by the frictional force on it from the ice. (a) If its initial speed is 6.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the frictional force? (b) What is the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice?
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 89 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.43. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.
In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 1.91 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?
