A car running at 80kph saw an oil truck in an accident 250 meters away. At the same time the truck is spilling oil causing a 60% reduction of friction. If initial f=0.30 a) will the car hit the obstruction? b) assuming that the tires would be replaced in such a way that the f=0.70, how much distance will the car have away from the obstruction? c) If the obstruction is 120m away and the oil did not spill, what would have been a safe speed

A car running at 80kph saw an oil truck in an accident 250 meters away. At the same time the truck is spilling oil causing a 60% reduction of friction. If initial f=0.30 a) will the car hit the obstruction? b) assuming that the tires would be replaced in such a way that the f=0.70, how much distance will the car have away from the obstruction? c) If the obstruction is 120m away and the oil did not spill, what would have been a safe speed at which the car will not hit the obstruction from 10m away assume f=0.3
