t the driver slammed on the brakes and the point where the car came to a stop was 34.0 m. From a reference manual he determines that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road under the prevailing conditions was 0.300. How fast was the car going when the driver applied the brakes? (This car was not equipped with anti-lock brakes.

Doing a force balance on the car:
ma = Fr
ma = μmg
a = μg
a = 0.3(9.81)
a = 29.43 m/s2

Using the formula:
2ax = v2
2(29.43)(34) = v2
v = 44.74 m/s = 161.05 km/h

The car was going 44.74 m/s or 161.05 kph when the brakes were applied.

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)
