Answer:
a = 1.962 m/s²
Explanation:
The frictional force applied on the car can be given by the following formula:
[tex]friction = f = \mu R\\[/tex]
where,
f = frictional force = ma (according to Newton's Second Law)
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.2
R = Normal Reaction = Weight of car = mg
Therefore, equation becomes:
[tex]ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\[/tex]
where,
a = maximum acceleration = ?
μ = coefficient of friction = 0.2
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]a = (0.2)(9.81\ m/s^{2})\\[/tex]
a = 1.962 m/s²
