A 2000-kg car moving at an initial speed of along a horizontal road skids to a stop in (a) Find the energy dissipated by friction. (b) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road. (Note: When stopping without skidding and using conventional brakes, 100 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated by friction within the brakes. With regenerative braking, such as that used in hybrid vehicles, only 70 percent of the kinetic energy is dissipated.)
