A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

s travelling at 14.5m/s and only the friction from the tires on the roadway stop the vehicle. Find the coefficient of friction

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25

a=-5.76m/sec^2

We know that acceleration is given by

a=\mu g

5.76=\mu\times  9.81

\mu =0.587

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

An object traveling at a constant speed but with a changing direction is accelerating.
prohojiy [21]

Strange as it may seem, that's true. (choice 'a'.)

"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up".  It means ANY change in
the speed or direction of motion.  So a car with the brakes applied
and slowing down, and a point on the rim of a bicycle wheel that's
turning at a constant rate, are both accelerating.
