- (a) You want to design a circular racetrack of radius R such that cars of mass M can go around the track at speed w without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Your answer should be expressed in terms of M, R, w, and g. (b) Suppose the racecars actually round the track at a speed v > w. What additional radial force is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed? Express your answer in terms of M, R, w, v, and g.arrow_forwardA car starts rolling down a 1-in-4 hill (1-in-4 means that for each 4 m traveled along the sloping road, the elevation change is 1 m). How fast is it going when it reaches the bottom after traveling 55 m? (a) Ignore friction. (b) Assume an effective coefficient of friction equal to 0.10.arrow_forwardIn a recent study of how mice negotiate turns, the mice ran around a circular 90° turn on a track with a radius of 0.15 m. The maximum speed measured for a mouse (mass = 18.5 g) running around this turn was 1.29 m/s. What is the minimum coefficient of friction between the track and the mouse’s feet that would allow a turn at this speed?arrow_forward
- The motorcyclist drives into a bend with a radius of 100 m at a speed of 72 km/h. By how many degrees does he have to lean in? At what maximum speed can he drive if the bend is icy and the coefficient of friction is 0.10? (The solutions are 22° and 36 km/h)arrow_forwardBiologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiments, they studied the maximum speed that quolls could run around a curved path without slipping. One quoll was running at 2.8 m/s around a curve with a radius of 1.2 m when it started to slip. What was the coefficient of static friction between the quoll’s feet and the ground in this trial?arrow_forwardYou are exiting a highway and need to slow down on the off-ramp in order to make the curve. It is rainy and the coefficient of static friction between your tires and the road is only 0.6. If the radius of the off-ramp curve is 24 m, then to what speed do you need to slow down the car in order to make the curve without sliding? (answer in m/s)arrow_forward
- A car of mass 1580 kg travels at 80km/hr on straight section of road, where u, the coefficient of friction between the car tyres and the road surface is 0.4. The car approaches a bend in the road with radius, r = 50m. The maximum speed v, the car should take the bend without skidding is O 23 m/s O 80 km/hr O 50 km/hr O 60 km/hrarrow_forwardIt is well known that runners run more slowly around a curved track than a straight one. One hypothesis to explain this is that the total force from the track on a runner’s feet— the magnitude of the vector sum of the normal force (that has average value mg to counteract gravity) and the inward-directed friction force that causes the runner’s centripetal acceleration— is greater when running around a curve than on a straight track. Runners compensate for this greater force by increasing the time their feet are in contact with the ground, which slows them down. For a sprinter running at 10 m/s around a curved track of radius 20 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total force on their feet compared to when they are running in a straight line?arrow_forwardA car of mass m is moving on a level circular track of radius R.

Given that the radius of the cylinder is 7 m and the static coefficient of friction is 0.8, what is the minimum speed in m/s2 that the motorcyclist must do to prevent the motorcycle to slip from the wall?arrow_forwardA car is rounding a tight curve on a winding road. If the radius of curvature of this curve is 10.0 m and the average coefficient of static friction between the road and normally inflated tires μs = 0.80, which of the following should be the posted maximum speed for a car to go around the curve for a dry day in the US, where we use mi/hr instead of km/hr?
