Is it safe to drive your 1600-kg car at speed 27 m/s around a level highway curve of radius 150 m if the effective coefficient of static friction between the car and the road is 0.40?
A bus negotiates a turn of radius 120 m while traveling at a speed of 96 km/h. If slipping just begins at this speed, what is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road? Find the optimum banking angle for the bus. With the answers, 0.605, and 31.2°
Circular turns of radius r in a race track are often banked at an angle θ to allow the cars to achieve higher speeds around the turns. Assume friction is not present, and use the coordinate system specified. Now write the magnitude of the normal force again, this time in terms of the gravitational force Fg, g, θ, the radius of the track r, and the velocity that the car is traveling v.
Banked curves are designed so that the radial component of the normal force on the car rounding the curve provides the centripetal force required to execute uniform circular motion and safely negotiate the curve. A car rounds a banked curve with banking angle ? = 23.2° and radius of curvature 168 m. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between the car's tires and the road is ?s = 0.393, what is the range of speeds for which the car can safely negotiate the turn without slipping? vlow=? m/s. vhigh= ? m/s b)What is the minimum value of ?s for which the car's minimum safe speed is zero? Note that friction points up the incline here.
A 2000 kg car is driving at a constant speed of 34.9 m/s takes a curve with a 80 m radius. The road is not banked (level road). What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road so that the car can take this curve without slipping? Round your final answer to 1 decimal place. Side note: The speed's value is, in the range of 40 mph to 80 mph, given randomly in the question. If the coefficient of static friction is larger than 1, the car would slip. It is unrealistic to have that high the coefficient of friction in real life. Don't over-speed!
A pickup truck has a box sitting loose in its bed. The box has a mass of 2.5kg and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the pickup bed is 0.8. The mass of the truck is 3150 kg and its tires have a coefficient of static friction with the road of 0.9. the truck is currently going through a roundabout with a radius of 30m. How fast can the truck go and not have the box slide on the truck bed? Please answer in m/s.
