Problem 29.
12.28 A car is traveling at 100 km/h along a straight, level road when its brakes become locked. Determine the stopping distance of the car knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.65 12.29 Solve Prob. 12.28 if the car is traveling down a 5° inclineSolution
Let m be the mass of the car
 Let  be the constant road slope angle to horizontal
 Let  be the coefficient of friction between road and tires.
 Let a be the acceleration of the car while braking and velocity greater than zero.
 
 adjust velocity to standard units
 100km/hr (1000m/km / 3600 s/hr) = 27.8 m/s
 
 Normal force of the road on the car
 Fn = mgcos
 
 Friction force of the road on the car
 Ff = Fn
 Ff = mgcos
 
 Weight Force acting parallel to the road in direction of motion
 Fg = mgsin
 
 Net force acting on the car
 F = Fg - Ff
 F = mgsin - mgcos
 F = mg(sin - cos)
 
 comparing to basic equation
 F = ma
 a = g(sin - cos)
 a = 9.81(sin5 - 0.65cos5)
 a = -5.5 m/s²
 
 kinematic equation
 
 vf² = vi² + 2ad
 d = (vf² - vi²) / 2a
 
 d = (0² - 27.8²) / 2(-5.5)
 d = 70 m
