Don't forget to recalculate Fc using the corrected speed.

Got it now thanksStatic friction is a type of force that exists between two surfaces in contact with each other, preventing them from sliding against each other when no external force is applied.
Static friction only comes into play when an object is at rest, while kinetic friction acts on an object that is already in motion.
The force of static friction depends on the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces in contact, as well as the normal force exerted on the object.
The force of static friction can be calculated by multiplying the coefficient of friction by the normal force exerted on the car. The normal force is equal to the weight of the car, which is 2000kg multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). Therefore, the formula for calculating static friction on a 2000kg car is: F(static) = µ * 2000kg * 9.8 m/s².
The force of static friction plays a crucial role in determining the maximum force that can be applied to move an object without it slipping. In the case of a car, calculating the force of static friction can help determine the minimum force needed to start moving the car or to keep it from slipping on a steep slope.
