This is an interactive homework problem on the acceleration due to friction. The problem gives the mass, initial velocity, coefficient of friction, and stopping distance of an empty truck traveling on a straight road. Students must determine the stopping distance if the truck were fully loaded, doubling its mass. A user-activated "help" sequence is provided for finding solutions within the framework of both the Work/Kinetic Energy Theorem and Newton's Second Law. To promote critical thinking, immediate feedback is received for both correct and incorrect responses. This item is part of a larger collection of interactive homework problems for introductory physics.
