Determine the initial speed of the moving van

Reference no: EM13664074

A police officer investigating an accident determines from the damage done that a moving van hit a stationary van at 28 km/h.

If the moving van left skid marks 49 meters long, and if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.69, determine the initial speed of the moving van?
