A car is traveling at 50.0 mi/h on a horizontal highway.
a) If the coefficient of static friction between road and tires on a rainy day is 0.100, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop? (in m)

The brakes on a big truck fail and it is forced to use a runaway truck lane. The lane is perfectly horizontal, and full of deep gravel, creating a coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the gravel of 0.80. The truck enters the lane at moving 35 m/s (about 80 mph). How far does the truck travel before it stops?
