    How Is the Shortest Stopping Distance Calculated for a Wet Road?

    OK...think I have muddled through Force = CoF Static )Ff-s x N Force = 0.145 x (100 x 9.8m/sec sq) Force = 142.1 F=ma 142.1 = 1000kg x a 0.1421m/sec sq = a Vf sq = Vi sq =2ad (0m/sec) sq = (29.3m/sec)sq + 2ad -858.49 = 2(.1421)2d -858.49 / .2842 = 2d 3020.73/2 = d 1510.36 m =...

    How Is the Shortest Stopping Distance Calculated for a Wet Road?

    Man...have I spent too much time in financial spread sheets today OK... Static CoF (Ff-s) = M x a Ff-s = 0.145 x 9.8m/sec squared = 1.421 m/sec sqrd 1.421 m/sec sqrd = 1000kg x a 1.421 m/sec sqrd / 1000kg = a 0.001421 m kg/sec sqrd = a Vf sqrd = Vi sqrd + 2ad (0 m/s) sqrd = (29.3 m/s) sqrd =...

    How Is the Shortest Stopping Distance Calculated for a Wet Road?

    OK...synapse lapse again... I have Velocity initial (Vi) = 29.3m/s and Velocity final (Vf)= 0ms/ Calculated Ff Static = 1.421 (m/sec sq?) Calculated Ff Kinetic = 0.9947(m/sec sq?) Where do I go from here to find the distance?

    How Is the Shortest Stopping Distance Calculated for a Wet Road?

    1. Need help with daughters physics...been 35 yrs since I was in class. 100kg car moves at speed of 29.3m/s on horizontal road Static CoF = 0.145 Kinetic CoF = 0.1015 Acceleration of gravity = 9.8m/s squared Road is wet Neglect Reaction time of driver What is shortest possible stopping...
