A 1300 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed v0 = 26.4 m/s. The road is wet, so the static friction coefficient between the tires and the road is only μs = 0.129 and the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower, μk = 0.0903. 2
What is the shortest possible stopping dis- tance for the car under such conditions? Use g = 9.81 m/s2 and neglect the reaction time of the driver.
1. 344 m
A loaded truck can accelerate at 4 m/s . It loses its load so that it is only 0.3 as massive.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s .
