Answer to Question #63485 in Mechanics | Relativity for emma

Question

A 1900 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed v0 = 17.3 m/s. The road is wet, so the static friction coefficient between the tires and the road is only µs = 0.136 and the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower, µk = 0.0952. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Assume: No aerodynamic forces; g = 9.8 m/s2, forward is the positive direction. What is the highest possible deceleration of the car under such conditions? Answer in units of m/s2.
