A1500 kg vehicle is moving on a dry pavement where the coefficient of friction is 0.80. if the vehicle is traveling at 25 m/s, what minimum distance is required to stop it when the brakes are applied. a. 40 m
b. 55 m
c. 72 m
d. 64 m

The minimum distance is 40 m.

(a) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of vehicle = 1500 kg

Coefficient friction = 0.80

Speed = 25 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using frictional force

Put the value into the formula

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The minimum distance is 40 m.

the answer is 12 as i may remember
