- A moving car is traveling at 80 kph when the brakes are applied to it. The car stillmoves at a distance of 35 m, before it completely stops. Determine the coefficientof friction between the tires and the road surface.arrow_forwardIf the car in Example 2.9 had CD = 0.45 and area = 25 ft2, what is the difference in minimum theoretical stopping distances with and without aerodynamic resistance considered (all other factors the same as in Example 2.9)?
