**Physics of Braking:**A car is moving along the ground at 20 m/s with a mass of 1200 kg. The coefficients of friction are given as follows: static friction (\(\mu_s\)) = 0.8 and kinetic friction (\(\mu_k\)) = 0.7.**Questions:**a. **What maximum acceleration can the car brake with?**b. **In this case, what is its stopping distance?**c. **Why is the car’s stopping distance longer if the wheels lock and the car skids to a stop?**

Given Data: Car velocity, v=20 m/s Car mass, m=1200 kg Friction coefficients are μs=0.8 and μk=0.7
