Homework Statement
A 1500 kg car is traveling at a speed of 30.0 m s-1 when the driver slams on the brakes and skids to a halt. Determine the stopping distance if the car is traveling down a 10o slope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the car
and the road is 0.80.
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
i know that KE = Frictional force * stopping distance and i think in this case it is KE = frictional force * stopping distance - acceleration due to gravity * stopping distance but i can't work out what the acceleration due to gravity because of the slope
