A car is moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed ${v_0}$. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $\mu $, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is

  • A

    $\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2\mu g}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{v_0}}}{{\mu g}}$

  • C

    ${\left( {\frac{{{v_0}}}{{\mu g}}} \right)^2}$

  • D

    $\frac{{{v_0}}}{\mu }$
