A lighter car and a heavier truck, each traveling to the right with the same speed [katex] v [/katex] hit their brakes. The retarding frictional force F on both cars turns out to be constant and the same. After both vehicles travel a distance [katex] D [/katex] (and both are still moving), which of the following statements is true?

A 90 kg individual is cycling up a hill inclined at 30 degrees on a 12 kg bicycle. The hill is quite steep, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.85. The cyclist ascends 12 meters up the hill and then pauses at the summit. If they then start descending from the peak at rest and travel 9 meters before firmly applying the brakes, causing the wheels to lock.

A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 21 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-third its dry road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?
