Can someone confirm the solution I propose is correct?

Oh, I have perhaps explained myself incorrectly. I mean that in the case of my example, as the car is being driven and the wheels are spinning, then the frictional force that applies is kinetic one. I wrote it improperly. On a slope up, is the car has to maintain speed, it must accelerate...

Bill, thanks for your clarifications. Now my question is: As you explained, the point where the tire starts to slip is related with the arctangent of mu: atan(\mu)=\theta As a side comment, in fact the car is moving along a street, so the friction to be taken into account is the cinetic...

Homework Statement I don't know if I am posting in the wrong thread. This is not a question for solving a homework, but a question to help me write some homework students will have to solve. I teach algorythmics to mechanics students. The program they are developing is about driving a car...
