An automobile is going up a 15° grade at a speed of 30 m/s. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.70. (a) What minimum distance does it take to stop the car? (b) What minimum distance would it take to stop if the car were going down the grade?

(I) What is the maximum acceleration a car can undergo if the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.90$?$
Suppose that only the rear wheels of an automobile can accelerate it, and that half the total weight of the automobile is supported by those wheels. (a) What is the maximum acceleration attainable if the coefficient of static friction between tires and road is $\mu_{\mathrm{s}} ?(b)$ Take $\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.56$ and get a numerical value for this acceleration.
