A truck is traveling at 35 m/s on a slippery road. the driver slams on the brakes and the truck starts to skid. if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.20, how far will the truck skid before stopping?

A car driving on level ground at 20.0 m/s slams on its brakes and skids to a halt. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car’s tires and the road is 0.750, how far does the car skid before stopping? How far would the car have skidded if it had been moving at 40.0 m/s?
