The easiest way to explain it is roughly identical to the way that your teacher explained it in class. If there were any easier way ... like writing it here in a few paragraphs ... then that's what the teacher would have done. You would have been given the easy explanation on the first day of class, printed on one sheet of paper, and you would have had the rest of the year to practice it and get really good at it.
If the class spent a month teaching it, then that's about how long it takes. Sorry.
Answer:
The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
Explanation:
Given;
coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84
speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s
To determine the the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
x is the shortest distance
First we determine a;
From Newton's second law of motion
∑F = ma
F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car
-Fk = ma
but, -Fk = -μN
-μN = ma
-μmg = ma
-μg = a
- 0.8 x 9.8 = a
-7.84 m/s² = a
Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above
v² = u² + 2ax
when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0
0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x
0 = 841 - 15.68x
15.68x = 841
x = 841 / 15.68
x = 53.64 m
Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
