How far will the car slide once the brakes are applied? - Phyisics Problem?

A 14680 N car, m, is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force between the tires and the road is 6940 N. How far will the car slide once the brakes are applied? Assume that air resistance is negligible.How far will the car slide once the brakes are applied? - Phyisics Problem?Weight = M*g

14680 N = M*9.8

M = 1497.96 kg



F = MA

6940 N = 1497.96 * A

A = 4.63 m/s



v = at

25 m/s = 4.63 m/s^2 t

t = 5.40 s



d = 0.5at^2

d = 0.5 * 4.63 * 5.4^2

d = 67.50 m
