The sports car has a weight of 4900 lblb and center of gravity at GG. If it starts from rest it causes the rear wheels to slip as it accelerates. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction at the road are μsμs = 0.5 and μkμkmu_k = 0.35, respectively. Neglect the mass of the wheelDetermine how long it takes for it to reach a speed of 10 ft/s.What are the normal reactions at each of the rear wheels on the road?What are the normal reactions at each of the front wheels on the road?

Answer:

2.27secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The car will take 2.27secs to reach a speed of 10 ft/s.

Kindly go through the attached files for a step by step solution that will show you how the answer was gotten and the normal reaction of both the front and rear wheels.
