To determine the maximum acceleration a car can undergo, we need to use the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground. The formula we can use is:
a_{max} = µ * g
Where:
a_{max} is the maximum acceleration
µ (mu) is the coefficient of static friction
g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2)
Substituting the given values:
a_{max} = 0.24 * 9.8
Now we can calculate the maximum acceleration:
a_{max} = 2.352 m/s^2
Therefore, the maximum acceleration a car can undergo with a coefficient of static friction of 0.24 is approximately 2.352 m/s^2.
