Introduction
It was a typical day on the road. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the roads were wet. Except for one thing: the car in front of you skidded to a halt, due to the waterlogged road. What could have caused this unexpected event?
The Problem
A kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = .
The problem is that the weight of the car causes it to slide and eventually come to a halt. In this situation, the car’s mass causes it to exert a force on the ground that is inversely proportional to its distance from the center of gravity. This means that as the car gets closer to the center of gravity, its force on the ground decreases.
The Solution
A kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where the coefficient of friction (μk) is 0.6.
The car’s initial velocity is v0 = 30 m/s, and the car’s final velocity is Vf = 20 m/s. What was the total distance traveled by the car?
The car traveled a distance of 60 cm.
Results and Discussion
The results of this study showed that a kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.5.
This study was designed to investigate the effects of wet road conditions on the stopping distance of a kg car. The test was conducted on a wet road with μk = 0.5, and the results showed that the car skids to a halt after travelling 400 cm. This halt distance is relatively small when taking into account the total distance travelled, but it is still an important result because it shows how sensitive the stopping distance is to changes in wet road conditions.
Conclusion
In this article, we will study the car skidding problem in the presence of a wet road. We first consider the non-linear stability theory and its relation to traction law. Next, we analyze the motion of a car on a slippery surface by using two different methods: direct method and sliding mode analysis. Finally, we compare results obtained with these two approaches and show that they give qualitatively similar results.
