Brother Bernard is a very large dog with a taste for tobogganing. Ernie gives him a ride
Question:
Brother Bernard is a very large dog with a taste for tobogganing. Ernie gives him a ride down Idiots' Hill---so named because it is a steep slope that levels out at the bottom for 10 m, and then drops into a river. When they reach the level ground at the bottom, their speed is 40 km/h, and Ernie, sitting in front, starts to dig in his heels to make the toboggan stop. He knows, however, that if he brakes too hard, he will be mashed by Brother Bernard. If the co efficient of static friction between the dog and the toboggan is 0.8, what is the minimum stopping distance that w ill keep Brother Bernard off Ernie's back?

Static friction and kinetic friction are two types of friction that occur when two objects are in contact with each other. Static friction is the force that must be overcome to initiate motion between two surfaces that are in contact with each other but are not moving relative to each other. It is caused by the interlocking of rough surfaces at the microscopic level, and it increases as the force pushing the surfaces together increases. Once motion between the surfaces starts, the static friction is no longer present. Kinetic friction, also known as sliding friction, is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces that are in contact with each other and are moving relative to each other. It is caused by the rubbing of the surfaces against each other and the resistance of the molecules in the surfaces to being moved. Kinetic friction is generally less than static friction, but it can still be a significant force, especially at high speeds. Both static and kinetic friction can be quantified using a coefficient of friction, which is a dimensionless number that represents the ratio of the frictional force between two surfaces to the normal force (the force perpendicular to the surfaces). The coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction for a given pair of surfaces, because it takes more force to overcome the interlocking of the surfaces at rest than to maintain motion once it has started.
