Question:
A crash test is performed between an SUV A and a 2500 lb compact car B. The compact car is stationary before the impact and has its brakes applied. A transducer measures the force during the impact, and the force P varies as shown. Knowing that the coefficients of friction between the tires and road are µs = 0.9 and µk = 0.7,
Determine
(a) The time at which the compact car will start moving,
(b) The maximum speed of the car,
