Use the values RE = 6370 km = 3960 mi for the radius of the earth A car with a mass of 1470 kg, including its driver, is driven at 130 km/h over a slight rise in the road. At the top of the rise, the driver applies the brakes. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs = 0.9, and the radius of curvature of the rise is 160 m. Determine the car’s deceleration at the instant the brakes are applied, and compare it with the deceleration on a level road.
