Answer to Problem 48P
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
An automobile is going up a
The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is
FormulaUsed:
Third equation of motion:
Where, symbols have their usual meanings
Calculation:
Initial velocity of the car
Final velocity of the car
Let the minimum displacement be
And let the acceleration of the car be
Use the third kinematic equation
Along the x-axis
And along the y-axis we conclude that,
Substitute
Substitute the value of acceleration in
Here, the negative sign indicates that the displacement of the car is in the opposite direction as in part
Conclusion:
Therefore, the magnitude of displacement is
