Retardation of Vehicle when Vehicle Moves on Level Track if Brakes are Applied to All Four Wheels Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Retardation of Vehicle = Acceleration due to Gravity*Coefficient of Friction for Brake
a = g*μ_brake
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Retardation of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Retardation of vehicle is the rate of decrease of velocity of a vehicle with respect to time, usually measured in meters per second squared.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is the rate at which the velocity of an object decreases as it moves under the influence of gravity, slowing down the vehicle.
Coefficient of Friction for Brake - Coefficient of Friction for Brake Retardation is a measure of the frictional force that opposes the motion of a vehicle, slowing it down during braking.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction for Brake: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a = g*μ_brake --> 9.8*0.92

Evaluating ... ...

a = 9.016

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.016 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.016 Meter per Square Second <-- Retardation of Vehicle

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
