Each tire on the 1350-kg car can support a maximum friction force parallel to the road surface of 2500 N. This force limit is nearly constant over all possible rectilinear and curvilinear car motions and is attainable only if the car does not skid. Under this maximum braking, determine the total stopping distance s if the brakes are first applied at point A when the car speed is 25 m /s and if the car follows the centerline of the road.
