- Calculate the maximum deceleration (in m/s2) of a car that is heading down a 7° slope (one that makes an angle of 7° with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. You may assume that the weight of the car is evenly distributed on all four tires and that the static coefficient of friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the deceleration a) on dry concrete b) on wet concrete c) on ice, assuming that µs = 0.100, the same as for shoes on icearrow_forwardPrior to manned space flights, rocket sleds were used to test aircraft, missile equipment, and physiological effects on humansubjects at high speeds. They consisted of a platform that was mounted on one or two rails and propelled by severalrockets. Calculate the magnitude of force exerted by each rocket, called its thrust T , for the four-rocket propulsion system. The sled’s initial acceleration is 49 m/s2, the mass of the system is 2100 kg, and the force of frictionopposing the motion is known to be 650 N.arrow_forwardA car is driving in a horizontal circle within the surface of a cone as shown in Fig. 2(a). The car has mass M and is driving with constant velocity. Assume that there is no friction acting on the car. The horizontal circle is held at a height H above the vertex of the cone. The angle between the axis of the cone and its side is θ. (a) Draw the free-body diagram with the forces acting on the car and indicate the direction ofacceleration. (b) Given the quantities given and the gravity g, find the normal acting on the car and and its velocity.
