If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is $\mu$,the maximum safe speed is $10\;m/s$. If the coefficient of friction becomes $\mu' = \frac{\mu}{2}$,what will be the new maximum safe speed?

  • A
    $5\;m/s$
  • B
    $10\;m/s$
  • C
    $10\sqrt{2}\;m/s$
  • D
    $5\sqrt{2}\;m/s$
