I am trying to prove that the skid to stop formula works with vehicles of different weight, with the use of kinetic energy. I think I have proven this, but if someone would like to check this over to make sure I am correct I would appreciate it.
13000 kg vehicle leaves skid marks 21 meters long, the drag factor is .7
13000 * 21 * .7 = 191100 joules
V = sqr ((2gKE)/w)
V = sqr ((2* 9.81*191100))/13000)
V = sqr (3749382/13000)
V = sqr 288.414
V = 16.98 m/s
S = 16.98 / .2777
S = 61.14 km/h
2000 kg vehicle leaves skid marks 21 meters long, the drag factor is .7
2000 * 21 * .7 = 29400 joules
V = sqr ((2gKE)/w)
V = sqr ((2* 9.81*29400))/2000)
V = sqr (576828/2000)
V = sqr 288.414
V = 16.98 m/s
S = 16.98 / .2777
S = 61.14 km/h
This is the skid to stop formula.
S = sqr (254 µ d ))
S = sqr (254 * .7 * 21))
S = sqr 3733.8
S = 61.10 km/h
