…… the question doesn't bother to give you µ, it gives you µmg (= 75000N) all at once.
)Stopping distance is the distance it takes for a vehicle to come to a complete stop after the brakes are applied. It includes both the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time and the distance traveled while the vehicle is decelerating.
The factors that affect stopping distance include the speed of the vehicle, the quality and condition of the brakes, the condition and type of the road surface, and the driver's reaction time.
You can calculate stopping distance by using the formula: stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance. Reaction distance is the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time, and braking distance is the distance traveled while the vehicle is decelerating. Reaction distance can be calculated by multiplying the speed of the vehicle in meters per second by the reaction time in seconds. Braking distance can be calculated by using the formula: (speed of the vehicle in meters per second)^2 / (2 x deceleration).
The average stopping distance for a car traveling at 60 mph is approximately 300 feet (91 meters). However, this can vary depending on the factors mentioned earlier.
To reduce your stopping distance, you can ensure that your brakes are in good condition and maintain a safe speed while driving. It is also important to stay alert and have a quick reaction time while driving. In addition, maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you can also help reduce your stopping distance.
