(II) (a) Show that the minimum stopping distance for anautomobile traveling at speed v is equal to v2/2 fxsg, where fisis the coefficient of static friction between the tires and theroad, and g is the acceleration of gravity. (b) What is thisdistance for a 1200-kg car traveling 95 km/h if /xs = 0.65?(c) What would it be if the car were on the Moon (the accelerationof gravity on the Moon is about g /6) but all elsestayed the same?
