Question:

You are driving your \(1500 \mathrm{~kg}\) car at \(20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) down a hill with a \(5.0^{\circ}\) slope when a deer suddenly jumps out onto the roadway. You slam on your brakes, skidding to a stop. How far do you skid before stopping if the kinetic friction force between your tires and the road is \(1.2 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~N}\) ? Solve this problem using conservation of energy.
