- You are driving your car uphill along a straight road. Of Suddenly, you see a car go through a red light and enter the intersection, just ahead of you. you. You immediately apply your brakes and skid straight to a stop, leaving a 100 ft long mark from the landslide. A policeman observes the whole incident, give the driver of the car a ticket for running a red light. He also gives a ticket to you for exceeding the 30 mph speed limit. When you get home, you read your physics book and you may notice that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road was 0.60, and the coefficient of static friction was 0.80. You estimate that the hill makes an angle of about 10° with the horizontal. Check the manual owner and find that your car weighs 2,050 lbs. Are you going to claim the traffic ticket? in the court?
