Answer to Question #63484 in Mechanics | Relativity for emma

Question

A 1900 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed v0 = 11.3 m/s. The road is wet, so the static friction coefficient between the tires and the road is only µs = 0.15 and the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower, µk = 0.105. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . What is the shortest possible stopping distance for the car under such conditions? Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and neglect the reaction time of the driver. Answer in units of m
