The 3500-lb automobile shown in the picture is traveling down the 10-degree inclined road at a speed of 20 ft/s. If the driver wishes to stop the car, determine how far s the tires skid on the road if the brakes are jammed, causing the wheels to lock. Coefficient of kinetic friction between wheels and road is 0.5.

The 3500-lb automobile shown in the picture is traveling down the 10-degree inclined road at a speed of 20 ft/s. If the driver wishes to stop the car, determine how far s the tires skid on the road if the brakes are jammed, causing the wheels to lock. Coefficient of kinetic friction between wheels and road is 0.5.

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a car moving down a slope inclined at an angle of 10 degrees. The car is traveling with an initial velocity of 20 feet per second in the direction indicated by the arrow labeled "A."
- **s**: Represents the distance traveled by the car along the slope.
- **10°**: Indicates the angle of inclination of the slope.
- **20 ft/s**: The initial velocity of the car moving down the slope.
The diagram illustrates the movement of the car along the inclined plane, highlighting concepts such as velocity, distance, and angle of inclination.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Given that,
angle of inclined = 100
initial velocity u = 20 ft / sec
coefficient of friction μ = 0.5
mass of car = 3500 lb
