If a city bus has a mass of 13,600 kg (30,000 lbs.) and the coefficient of friction between the wheels and the road in dry conditions is 0.7 b) What is the maximum velocity the bus can safely travel while taking a 6-meter curve in dry conditions? Give answer to 2 sig figs.

A car enters a 311-m radius horizontal curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.68. What is the maximum speed at which the car can travel around this curve without sliding in m/s? Answer:
A car of massm travels around a flat, circular curve of radius r at the fastest possible speed, v = 13.5 m/s without sliding off. The car and road have a coefficient of friction, between them. If the car wishes to take the turn at 2.4x the velocity, by what factor would the radius need to increase (so the car doesn't slide off) ? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

In 1959, Daytona Speed was added to the NASCAR racing circuit and introduced 31° banked curves for racing. This allowed stock cars to reach much higher speeds (around 200 mph) during a race. Today the steepest banked curves are found at Talladega Motor Speed Way at 33° with a turn radius of 1100 ft. The flattest track in NASCAR is Hew Hampshire Motor Speed Way with banked curves of 7° with a turn radius of 410 ft. a) Assuming no friction, what are the max speeds (in mph) without slipping toward the outer edge of the track at the Talladega and NH Motor Speedways? b) With friction (assume μs of 1.1 between the tires and the track)?
