I'm sorry if I misunderstood. I thought these were your words. Quote: Originally Posted by jps000 The velocity of your car will be the same whether you go down the steep hill or the more gently sloping one, since the height at which you depart is the same. :noidea:
yeah.. there was 1 road near pacifica, ca where i couldn't accelerate up it from a stand still. I've never had problems in any other area (sf, boulder creek, Colorado, etc)
That's where I got off track. My mistake. I had only referenced the inclined plane physics to point out that the angle of the slope does in fact have an affect on the velocity, not for the friction. It makes sense now. I did see that you had mentioned friction but it didn't sink in that you had moved on. Sorry for my confusion. :yield:
