Answer to Question #83849 in Mechanics | Relativity for Nayan

Question #83849

An old 815 kg car ( without anti-lock brakes) initially traveling along a flat road at 21.3m/s applies the brakes suddenly and begins skidding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.221. Assume the cars acceleration is constant, and it skids until it comes to rest.

a) Find the force of kinetic friction acting on the car while its skidding.
b) Find the acceleration of the car.
c) Find the distance the car skids before coming to rest.
