Question

Suppose a car rounds a curve at a constant speed of 13 m/s. The curve is a circular arc with a radius of 100 m. Ignore air friction initially.
 

(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the horizontal force that the road must exert on the car to keep it moving along the curve? Express this magnitude as a fraction of the car’s weight.

 

The magnitude of the horizontal force is _______∣F→g∣|.

 

The direction is  (Choose one) 

Horizontal and parallel to the direction the car turns to

Vertical and perpendicular to the direction the car turns to

vertical and parallel to the direction the car turns to

horizontal and perpendicular to the direction the car turns to

(b) Now suppose that air friction is not zero, but is about half the result that you calculated for part (a). Must the force that the road exerts on the car increase in magnitude compared to the no-drag case? 

(Choose )Yes or No

Must it change its direction?

(Choose) Yes Or No
