Three cars (car f, car g, and car h) are moving with the same velocity when the driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the wheels. the most massive car is car f, the least massive is car h, and all three cars have identical tires. (a) which car travels the longest distance to skid to a stop?

Well, unfortunately you are correct. At least, in theory.

With more mass, comes greater force from friction, even though the coefficient is the same for all 3.

So, the rate of acceleration (deceleration) is the same for all 3.

They stop in the same distance.
