Question

4. A crate rests on the flatbed of a truck that is initially traveling at 12 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 131 ft. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding?

Step 1

Initial velocity $v_0 = 12 \text{ m/s}$. Distance $d = 131 \text{ ft}$. We know that $1 \text{ ft} = 0.3048 \text{ m}$. So, $d = 131 \text{ ft} \times 0.3048 \text{ m/ft} = 39.9268 \text{ m}$. Show more…
