A car traveling at 60 km/h will skid 30 m when its brakes are locked. If the same car is traveling at 180 km/h, what will be the skidding distance? Be sure to show all work to support your answer.

Respuesta :

converting 60 and 180 kmph into m/s
that's 16.67 m/s and 50 m/s
now
16.67*16.67 = 2*a*30
277.88/60 = a
4.631 m/s^2
as the vehicle is same it will decelerate with the same value
and thus
50*50 = 2*4.631*s
2500/9.262 = s
that's around 270 m
