A 2-Mg car has a velocity of v1 = 100 km/h when the driver sees an obstacle in front of the car. It takes 0.7s for him to react and lock the brakes, causing the car to skid. If the car stops when it has traveled a distance of 225m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road.
