I need help with this, I've been trying but I don't understand it. Can anyone help me????? :frown: :confused:

A 830.0 kg car travelling on a level road at 27.0 m/s (60.5 mi/hr) can stop, locking its wheels, in a distance of 61.0 m (200.1 ft). Find the size of the horizontal force which the car applies on the road while stopping.

:surprised

try W = \Delta K

I don't know how is exactly that formula, but I find one, maybe it's the same.

F=m*a

a= (v^2-v_{i}^2)/(2* \Delta x)


Now I have other problem

Find the stopping distance of that same car when it is traveling up a 19.9° slope, and it locks its wheels while traveling at 33.5 m/s (75.0 mi/hr). Assume that \mu_k does not depend on the speed.

1. What's the normal force exerted on the ground upon the car?
2. How is the magnitude of frictional force related to the magnitude of the normal force?
