The given data is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 84 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.36.  Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. (why does the car's mass not matter?)

Explanation:

Let us assume that v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity of the car. Let s be the skid marks and \mu be the friction coefficient and m be the mass of car.

Hence, the given data is as follows.

                v = 0,     s = 84 m,     \mu = 0.36

According to Newton's law of second motion the expression for acceleration is as follows.

                      F = ma

                 -\mu N = ma

                 -\mu mg = ma

                      a = -\mu g

Also,    

               v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as

              (0)^{2} = u^{2} + 2(-\mu g)s

                  u^{2} = 2(\mu g)s

                            = \sqrt{2(0.36)(9.81 m/s^{2})(84 m)}

                            = 24.36 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes is 24.36 m/s.

Bad White [126]
A) Agreed. 
<span>b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). </span>

<span>c) Here's one method... </span>

<span>15 miles = 24140 m </span>

<span>1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. </span>

<span>So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J </span>

<span>Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J </span>

<span>Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J </span>

<span>So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. </span>

<span>Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied </span>
<span>= 1000/5800 </span>
<span>= 0.17 (=17%) </span>
