Question 765627: Engineers want to design brakes that will reduce stopping distances by 10%. How would this change the equation relating speed s, friction f, and stopping distance d?
s=√30fd
A)s=√0.09fd=0.3√fd
b)s=0.09√30fd
c)s=0.9√fd
d)s=√27fd=3√3fd
The equation below gives the maximum velocity in miles per hour that a vehicle can safely travel around a curve of radius r feet when friction is f. If the velocity is greater than Vmax, the tires will slip. Engineers find that under snowy conditions, Vmax = 15 miles per hour for a freeway off-ramp that has a radius of 50 feet. To the nearest tenth, what is the coefficient of friction for the off-ramp in these conditions?
Vmax=√14.88fr _______ Answer by ireneriveraa(1) (Show Source):
