Kinetic friction
Question

A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed u0.If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is μ, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is 

Moderate
Solution

Retarding force F=ma=μR=μmg
a=μg
Now from equation of motion u2=u22as
0=u22ass=u22a=u22μgs=u022μg
