Solving Deceleration on an Inclined Road

AI Thread Summary
To determine the deceleration of a car on a 13° uphill incline, the static friction coefficient remains constant at -4.80 m/s², which is the deceleration on a level road. The equations of motion involve the forces acting on the car, including friction, normal force, gravitational force, and any potential pushing force. The user is confused about whether a pushing force exists while the car is decelerating. Clarification on the forces involved in this scenario is needed to progress in solving the problem. Understanding these dynamics is essential for accurately calculating the new deceleration on the incline.

Quick PLEASE help :(

Homework Statement


A car can decelerate at -4.80 m/s2 without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would its deceleration be if the road were inclined at 13\circ uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient.

Homework Equations


Ff=\muSFN

The Attempt at a Solution



Well I can't find anyway to even start can someone head me in the right direction?

I think I got some of it:
\SigmaF=ma
Ff+FN-Fg-Fp=ma
Ff+FN-ma-Fp=ma
+ma both sides and +Fp
Ff+FN=2ma+Fp
\musFN+FN=2ma+FpNow I'm wondering if there is actually Fp for the car or not (force of push). Would there still be a pushing force of the car when decelerating?
Stuck there now :\

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
