A 1100 kg car moves along a horizontal road
at speed v0 = 13.8 m/s. The road is wet,
so the static friction coefficient between the
tires and the road is only µs = 0.141 and
the kinetic friction coefficient is even lower,
µk = 0.0987.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
What is the shortest possible stopping distance for the car under such conditions? Us
g = 9.8 m/s^2
and neglect the reaction time of
the driver.
Answer in units of m.
