Question
A driver finds that her car will descend the slope 01 = 3.7° at a certain constant speed with no brakes or throttle required. The slope
decreases fairly abruptly to 02 at point A. If the driver takes no action but continues to coast, determine the acceleration a (positive if
the car speeds up, negative if it slows down) of the car just after it passes point A for the conditions (a) 02 = 2.2° and (b) 02 = 0°.
v= constant
Answers:
(a) a = i
m/s?
(b) a = i
m/s2
