in their calculations. For example, when μ = 0.8 with one wheel skidding, they will adjust
the coecient by dividing by four so that they use μ = 0.2. In other instances, when two
skid marks are deposited, one longer than the other, they will average the length of the skid
marks and use this value as the skid distance. In both cases they are aecting the equation
used to calculate the minimum speed from skid marks, namely,

s
= 2 µ
(9.127)
where
v
s
is the minimum speed (/s)
g is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 /s

μ is the coecient of friction or “drag coecient”
D is the skid distance ()
