Mid-Unit 5 Energy Review

A small car with a mass M initially moves with velocity V flat road. The small car travels a distance D as it skids to a stop in an emergency. Assume the friction force between the tires and the road are constant during the stop.

A. What would need to be measured to calculate the Force of Friction between the tires and the road? Select all that apply.

• Coefficient of Friction

• Mass of the car

• Initial Velocity of the car

• Stopping Distance

A small car with a mass M initially moves with velocity V flat road. The small car travels a distance D as it skids to a stop in an emergency. Assume the friction force between the tires and the road are constant during the stop.

If the same car now experiences a velocity of 3V, how does the stopping distance D compare?

C. If a large truck with a mass of 2M and speed of V, how does the stopping distance D compare if the truck experiences the same friction force as the car?
