Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Engineers who design roads typically “bank” (incline) curves in such a way that a car traveling at the recommended speed does not have to rely on friction between its tires and the road in order to round the curve. Suppose the radius of curvature of a road segment is 55 m, and the recommended speed is 45 km/hr. At what angle should the curve be banked?
A 53-kg child riding a Ferris wheel (radius = 14 m) travels in a vertical circle. The wheel completes one revolution every 20 s. What is the magnitude of the force on the child by the seat (i.e. normal force) at the lowest point on the circular path?
Medical testing has established that the maximum acceleration a pilot can be subjected to without losing consciousness is approximately 5.00g. A pilot can avoid “blackout” at accelerations up to approximately 9.00g by wearing special “g-suits” that help keep blood pressure in the brain at a sufficient level. What is the minimum safe radius of curvature for the pilot wearing a g-suit and flying the F-15 in a horizontal circular loop at 658 km/h?
A car travels at a steady 37.4 m/s around a horizontal curve of radius 161 m. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the road and the car's tires that will allow the car to travel at this speed without sliding?
Bob is driving with constant speed in a curved path with radius r = 50 m. If the coefficient of static friction between his tires and the road is 0.5, what is the maximum speed he can have without skidding?
For all questions, assume concepts such as friction or air resistance are negligible, unless stated otherwise in the question. A car is turning on a road surface with a coefficient of friction of µ = 0.30. It turns with a radius of 50 m. How fast can the car be travelling around the turn?
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.
You are designing a highway which will be safe even if there is no friction between the tires of the car and the road. A particular turn has a radius of curvature equal to 230 m, and you want the highway to be safe for cars travelling at 120 km/h. What angle must you bank the road at in order for cars to navigate the turn safely?
A curve in a road forms part of a horizontal circle. As a car goes around it at constant speed 14.0 m/s, the total horizontal force on the driver has magnitude 130 N. What is the total horizontal force on the driver if the speed on the same curve is 18.0 m/s instead?
A given highway turn has a 105 km/h speed limit and a radius of curvature of 1.4 km a. What banking angle in degrees will prevent cars from sliding off the road, assuming everyone travels at the speed limit and there is no friction present?
A car with a mass of 1500 kg starts to slide while traveling at a speed of 8m /s on a 35 m radius corner. So what is the static friction coefficient between the road and the wheel?
Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a car can safely travel if the radius of the track is 80 m and the coefficient of friction is 0.4?
