To solve the problem, we need to derive the maximum stopping distance of a car when it is moving with a velocity \( v \) and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is \( \mu_k \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Car**: - The car experiences a normal force \( N \) acting upwards and the weight \( W = mg \) acting downwards, where \( m \) is the mass of the car and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. - The frictional force \( F_f \) that acts to stop the car is given by: \[ ...
