Chapter 2, Problem 2/47

(choose chapter or problem)

The aerodynamic resistance to motion of a car is nearly proportional to the square of its velocity. Additional frictional resistance is constant, so that the acceleration of the car when coasting may be written where and are constants which depend on the mechanical configuration of the car. If the car has an initial velocity when the engine is disengaged, derive an expression for the distance D required for the car to coast to a stop. 2/47 v
