While visiting a friend in San Francisco you decide to drive around the city. You turn a corner and are driving up a steep hill. Suddenly, a small boy runs out on the street chasing a ball. You slam on the brakes and skid to a stop leaving a 50 foot long skid mark on the street. The boy calmly walks away but a policeman watching from the sidewalk walks over and gives you a ticket for speeding. You are still shaking from the experience when he points out that the speed limit on this street is 25 mph. After you recover your wits, you examine the situation more closely. You determine that the street makes an angle of 20° with the horizontal and that the coefficient of static friction between your tires and the street is 0.80. You also find that the coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the street is 0.60. Your car's information book tells you that the mass of your car is 1570 kg. You weigh 130 lbs. Witnesses say that the boy had a weight of about 60 lbs and took 3.0 seconds to cross the 15 foot wide street. Will you fight the ticket in court?
