A car can decelerate at -3.25 m/s2 without skidding when coming to rest on a level road.
What would its deceleration be if the road is inclined at 9.2 ∘ and the car moves uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient.
the data given
Deceleration of the car = -3.80 m/s2
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
ehen car moves on straight path
frictional force experienced by the car is f = µN
where µ =frictional force constant
N = normal force
force on car due to its mass and acceleration = m a
where m= mass and a =Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
N =mg
mg =ma
=a/g =3.25/9.8 =0.3316
when car moves upside
frictional force +mgsin =manew
mgcos +mgsin= -manew
gcos +gsin= -anew
0.3316x9.8xcos9.2+9.8xsin9.2=-anew
