- You are driving along a straight section of road at 13 m/s when 10 m in front of you a furry creature jumps out into the middle of the road. You instantly slam on your breaks, but the breaks lock so that you slide along the pavement with kinetic coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement of 0.65. By what distance do you stop short of running over the furry creature or by what distance is your roadkill dinner behind you when your car finally comes to a halt? Note that the total mass of the car (including you) is 1360 kg, while the mass of the furry creature is 2.6 kg.arrow_forwardA 68 kg man drops to a concrete patio from a window 0.45 m above the patio.

Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 17 f/s. It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 20 ft/s.
