A 1600 kg car moves along a horizontal road
at speed v0 = 13.3 m/s. The road is wet, so
the static friction coefficient between the tires
and the road is only μs = 0.21 and the kinetic
friction coefficient is even lower, μk = 0.147.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
Assume: No aerodynamic forces; g =
9.8 m/s2, forward is the positive direction.
What is the highest possible deceleration of
the car under such conditions?
Answer in units of m/s2
