Answer: 8.07 m/s

Explanation:

Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity, we can extract the value of the velocity v at a given time t, as follows:

v = v₀ + a t (1)

As we already know v₀ and t, our  single unknown is the acceleration a.

Once the friver slammed on the brakes, there exists an external force, due to friction, which is the only external force acting in the horizontal direction, producing a deceleration.

This friction force, is equal to the product of  the coeficient of  kinetic friction, times the normal force.

In this case, the normal force is numerically equal to the gravity force, which we call weight.

This force opposes to the direction of the initial velocity, as it always opposes to the relative movement between both surfaces in contact.

Applying Newton's 2nd Law, we get:

Fnet = ma ⇒ Ff = m a ⇒ -μk . m . g = m.a

Solving for a :

a = -μk . g = -0.68 . 9.8 m/s² = -6.66 m/s²

Replacing in (1)

v = 15.4 m/s +(-6.66) m/s². 1.11 s = 8.07 m/s

Annette [7]
Beginning around 5,500 years ago, the Sumerians built cities along the rivers in Lower Mesopotamia, specialized, cooperated, and made many advances in technology. The wheel, plow, and writing (a system which we call cuneiform) are examples of their achievements.
