A car, shown in Figure P1.44, weighing 3000 lb tows a single axle two-wheel trailer weighing 1500 lb at 60 mph. There are no brakes on the trailer, and the car, which by itself can decelerate at 0.7g, produces the entire braking force. Determine the force applied to slow the car and trailer. Determine the deceleration of the car and the attached trailer. How far do the car and trailer travel in slowing to a stop? How many seconds does it take to stop?
