Problem B4:
The car shown above on the left has an initial speed of v0 when the
brakes are applied and the car skids to a stop after traveling a distance of
d0. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the
road is &mu0.
The car shown above on the right has an initial speed of n1v0.
In this case, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the
road is &mu0/n2. The brakes are applied and the car
skids to a stop after traveling a distance n3d0.
What is n3?
