To solve the problem, we need to determine whether a car can cross a half-kilometer bridge in less than 10 seconds, given that it starts from rest and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 1.0. We'll follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Length of the bridge (L) = 0.5 km = 500 m - Coefficient of friction (μ) = 1.0 - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (the car starts from rest) ...
