Answer:
If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.
Explanation:
To determine how fast the car was moving, after skidding, the formula below is used:
V = √32*fd
V is the car's speed (ft/s)
d is skid length (ft) = 66 ft
f is the coefficient of friction determined by the material the car was skidding on.
Coefficient of friction for wet concrete is 0.65
V = √32*fd
V = √32 *0.65* 66
V = 242.679 ft/s ≅ 243 ft/s (nearest whole number)
If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.
