Kinetic friction is proportional to the normal force (Eq. 5.9). Why should there be an intimate connection between these two forces?
A car has a mass of 1750 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 6500 N. If the car is moving at 22 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?
Biologists have estimated the drag coefficient of a swimming penguin by observing the rate at which a penguin’s speed decreases in its glide phase, when it’s not actively swimming and is slowing down. In one study, a gliding 4.8 kg Gentoo penguin has an acceleration of -0.52 m/s2 when its speed is 1.60 m/s. If its frontal area is 0.020 m2, what is the penguin’s drag coefficient?
