Asked by Jon
A 2600 kg truck travelling at 72 km/h slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. The frictional force from the road is 8200 N. Use the relationship between kinetic energy and mechanical work to determine the distance it takes for the truck to stop.

kinetic energy of truck equals the work done to stop
there are 3600 seconds in an hour ... 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min
72000 m/hr / 3600 sec/hr = 20 m/s
1/2 m v^2 = f d ... 1/2 * 2600 kg * (20 m/s)^2 = 8200 N * d
solve for d (the stopping distance in meters)
