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
