Question 6 A car is turning a curve of radius 24 m. The curve is unbanked (flat), meaning friction is providing all of the centripetal force. Because of hazardous road conditions, the coefficient of static friction is reduced to only 0.31. What is the maximum velocity at which the car can travel around the curve? Give your answer in m/s with at least three significant figures.

A car rounds a bend in the road that has a radius of 73 m. Rather than being banked inward (toward the centre of the curve), the road is banked outward, at an angle of 15°. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.76. a) Draw a FBD diagram of the car, as viewed from behind. Use a coordinate system that is horizontal/vertical (i.e., not rotated). b) Find the maximum speed that the car can go around the bend without sliding off the road.
A car travels at a constant speed of 25.5 mi/h (11.4 m/s) on a level circular turn of radius 43.0 m, as shown in the bird's-eye view in figure a. What minimum coefficient of static friction, ?s, between the tires and the roadway will allow the car to make the circular turn without sliding?
One of the hazards of prolonged weightlessness on long space missions is bone and muscle loss. To combat this problem, NASA is studying a human-powered centrifuge. In this device, one astronaut pedals a suspended, bicycle-like contraption, while a second astronaut rides standing up in a similarly suspended platform. Part A If the standing astronaut moves with a speed of 3.1 m/s at a distance of 3.2 m from the center of the device, what is the astronaut's centripetal acceleration? Give your answer as a multiple of g, the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth. Express your answer to two significant figures. να ΑΣφ. ? Submit Request Answer

Imagine If A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 19 m in a parking lot. We know the total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 95 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.66 . A) Now what is the maximum speed, in meters per second, he can travel through the arc without slipping?
