Given speed of at of 83.33 m/s, what is the total friction+drag force on the car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think alll you really need to do is think about the calculations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well its part 2 of a problem I got part 1. Just not sure how to find friction and drag force.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a textbook?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there anything that would help you or maybe definitions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im thinking i could calculate static friction, because its constant speed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you probably can figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you go to connections academy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the haha for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i dont have coefficient of static friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause i have no idea what that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a onlne school. http://www.connectionsacademy.com/home.aspx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh, i got to a community college

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am in 9th grade.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, why did u reply to my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause i know it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are most people on here college students?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I may make an observation, I don't think you have enough information to find the friction+drag forces.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm, what information would we need here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You only have the speed given which tells nothing about what forces are acting on the car. If you had the time it took it to come to rest that is putting the car in neutral and letting it coast to a stop could tell you the average forces acting that cause the car to stop.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I almost forgot. You also need the mass of the car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have mass of teh car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What other info do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i had to figure out the angular velocuty of the wheel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given mass of car, and wheel size

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got to go.
