What is the minimum stopping distance of the truck

Reference no: EM13318615

A truck initially going 10m/s slams on the breaks. If the coefficient between the truck's tires and road is %u03BC=0.4, what is the minimum stopping distance of the truck? Assume acceleration due to gravity g = 10m/s2. Hint: find the acceleration and then use the equation of motion without time t to solve for distance.
