Car B is towing car A at a constant speed of 10 m/s on an uphill grade when the brakes of car A are fully applied causing all four wheels to skid. The driver of car B does not change the throttle setting or change gears. The masses of the cars A and B are 1400 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.8. Neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine (a) 5m 10 m/s 10 m/s the distance traveled by the cars before they come to a stop, (b) the tension in the cable.

Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.
