A car has a mass of 1520kg. While traveling at 20 m/s, the driver applies the brakes to stop the car on a wet surface with a 0.40 coefficient of friction.

A) How far does the car travel before stopping?

B) If a different car with a mass of 1.5 times greater is on the road traveling a the same speed and the coefficient of friction between the road and the tires is the same, what will its stopping distance be? Explain your results.

Also, PLEASE show your work so I can have a better understanding of your reasoning
