Answer:

The car's skid marks will be 25.4842 m long.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

Force = Mass × acceleration due to car

Also, The formula for frictional force,

Frictional force = μ × Normal Force

Also, Normal force = mass × acceleration due to gravitation(g)

So,

Frictional force = μ × mass × g

The two forces acting horizontally on the tire in opposite directions. So,

Mass × acceleration due to car = μ × mass × g

Solving,

Acceleration due to car = μ × mass × g

Given,

μ = 0.80

Also, 9.81 ms⁻²

So,

Acceleration due to car = 7.848 ms⁻²

Considering the Equation of motion as:

v² = u² - 2.a.s

Brakes are applied ad the car stops. The final velocity of the car (v) = 0 ms⁻¹

Given: Initial velocity of car (u) = 20 ms⁻¹

Acceleration, above calculated = 7.848 ms⁻²

Applying in the equation to calculate the distance as:

(0)² = (20)² - 2×(7.848)×s

So, Distance:

s=\frac{400}{2\times 7.848}

<u>s = 25.4842 m</u>

<u>The skid marks are 25.4842 m long.</u>

NARA [144]
To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.

Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds

Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters
