You are traveling in your car at a velocity of 24.0m/s east when you slam on your brakes. The
force of friction on your car tires is 1.80x10
4N. IF the mass of you and your car is 1.50x103
kg,
how far do you skid before stopping?

F = ma, so a = 1.8*10^4 / 1.50*10^3 = 12 m/s^2
v^2 = 2as, so
24^2 = 2*12*s
s = 24 m
