Three cars are driving at 25 m/s along the road shown in
Chapter 8, Problem 41P(choose chapter or problem)
Three cars are driving at 25 m/ s along the road shown in FIGURE P8.41. Car B is at the bottom of a hill and car C is at the top. Both hills have a 200 m radius of curvature. Suppose each car suddenly brakes hard and starts to skid. What is the tangential acceleration (i.e., the acceleration parallel to the road) of each car? Assume \(\mu_{\mathrm{k}}=1.0\).
