Equations of problem 30

We express the braking force from relation (9): \[Fb = {m*v_0^2\over 2*Ss}\]

Equation 10 from problem 30

Enter m

Enter v0

Enter Ss




Equation 10 result is Fb

Note: The kinetic energy of a car at the beginning of its brakins is qual to the work done by the braking force: W=Ek

On a horitzontal surface it holds that:

\[Fb = {f*N = f*m*g}\]

Fb..frictional braking force

f..coeficient of static friction

N..force wich the car acts upon the road

m..the mass of the object

g..the acceleration of gravity

Equation 11 from problem 30

Enter f

Enter m

Enter g




Equation 11 result is Fb


Comment 11:


The coefficient of friction f will be the sabe in both scenarios

We substitute for Fb from relation (10)

Equation 12 from problem 30

Enter g

Enter v0

Enter Ss




Equation 12 result is F

Forces acting upon a car moving uphill:

Fg.. gravitational force

N1..normal force with which the road upon the car

Fb1..braking force

Equation of motion a car going uphill:

\[Fb_1 + Fg + N_1 = {m * a_1}\]

We rewrite the equation using scalars and choose a coordinate system such that the x axis is parallel to the movement of the car.

The y axis is perpendicular to the x axis. We split the gravitational force into two components in the directions of the axes:
