Question:
You are a stunt person for a major blockbuster movie. In one scene you are driving a bright yellow Camaro trying to escape a rampaging robot. You are supposed to slam on the brakes and just barely stop in time to avoid crashing into a brick wall just 32.0 m in front of you.
Unfortunately, the road is dirty in some places and wet in others and it doesn't quite work out that way. You were driving at 20.0 m/s when you slammed on the brakes, but you hit the wall while still traveling at 5.0 m/s. Airbags deploy and no one is hurt.
a. Draw an energy bar chart for this situation. Choose a system of interest and initial/final moments that will be useful in answering part b. and state those choices.
B. Determine the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. Describe the assumptions you made.
