The 20 KN weight car shown is moving at 12 m/s on a 15∘ inclined road. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the road is μk = 0.3 If the driver applies the brakes, causing the wheels to lock, how far does the driver slide before stopping? a) Find it using Conservation of Energy [30 P] b) Find it using Newton's laws of motion [30 P]
