Consider two vehicles A and B that are identical except their masses are different: one has mass ma and the other has mass mg > ma. Suppose that they are approaching an intersection at which they will make a turn of radius R. Which of the following is true regarding the maximum safe speed they can drive at to make the turn? Car A needs to drive at a different speed than car B. Car A needs to drive more quickly than car B. Car A needs to drive at the same speed as car B. Car A needs to drive more slowly than car B.

Concept explainers

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.
