Answer:
∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)
Explanation:
We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.
If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
Answer:
mu = 0.56
Explanation:
The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:
v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)
v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h
= 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s
x: distance = 25m
BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:
with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:
Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:
hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56
