The coefficient of friction between the wheels of a 2500 kg Hearse and the dry pavement is 0.85. Determine the acceleration that the car experiences while skidding to a stop.

Answer   Calculate the centripetal force exerted on a 900 kg car that negotiates a 500 m radius curve at 25.0 m/s. Assuming an unbanked curve, find the minimum static coefficient of friction, between the tires and the road, static friction being the reason that keeps the car from slipping (see Figure 2). Strategy and Solution for Part 1

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
