Q.18 An automobile travelling at 25 m/s crests a hill
of radius 625 m just as the driver slams on the
brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of
friction between the car and the road is 0.7, find
the car's deceleration at the instant the brakes
are applied. [g = 10 m/s²]
(a) 3.3 m/s²
(c) 5.4 m/s²
r = 625 m
V = 25 m/s
(b) 4.5 m/s²
(d) 6.3 m/s²
