(5-12) (a) Show that the minimum stopping distance for an automobile traveling at speed v is equal to , where is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road, and g is the acceleration of gravity. (b) What is this distance for a 1200-kg car traveling 95 km/h if ? (c) What would it be if the car were on the Moon (the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is about g /6) but all else stayed the same?
