Homework Statement
A car is traveling at 56.0 km/h on a flat highway. If the coefficient of friction between road and tires on a rainy day is 0.100, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop?
Homework Equations
μ=-a/g
v2=vo2 + 2 a x
The Attempt at a Solution
56.0 km/h = 15.6 m/s
0.100=-a / 9.8 m/s2
a= 0.98 m/s2
0=(15.6 m/s)2 + 2 (0.98m/s2) x
x= 245.3 m
