Question from Audrey: A Harley Davidson motor cycle weighing 650 lbs with a rider weighing 175 bs |
Hi Audrey,
This is not as easy as it might seem. A big factor is the coefficient of friction between the wheels and the road. Go to the Math Beyond School section of Math Central, browse by title and look for the article titled Accident Reconstruction.
