Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 9CQ
On an icy road, you approach a curve that has the banking angle calculated for 55 mph. Your passenger suggests you slow down below 55 mph, just to be on the safe side, but you say that you should maintain your speed at 55 mph. (a) Who is correct, you or your passenger? (b) What would happen if you were to slow down (or speed up)? (c) Would your passenger’s suggestion be a good one on an unbanked road?

A woman is riding a Jet Ski at a speed of 30 m/s and notices a seawall straight ahead. The farthest she can lean the craft in order to make a turn is 20°. This situation is like that of a car on a curve that is banked at an angle of 20°. If she tries to make the turn without slowing down, what is the minimum distance from the seawall that she can begin making her turn and still avoid a crash?
Please answer the question and subquestions entirely. This is one single question. According to the official guideline, I can ask two subquestions! Thank you!
1)
At what angle should the roadway on a curve with a 50 m radius be banked to allow cars to negotiate the curve at 12 m/s even if the roadway is frictionless?
0°
12.2°
17.1°
35.0°
73.2°
a)
A 0.300 kg rock is rotating in a vertical plane on a 0.250 m long string. At the top of the path, the velocity is 4.00 m/s. Find the tension in the string at that point.
16.3 N
15.4 N
18.0 N
83.0 N
b)
If the magnitude of the velocity of an object moving in a circular path doubles, the centripetal acceleration is multiplied by:
1/4
1/2
2
4
c)
At what angle relative to the horizontal should a 52 m curve be banked if the road is covered with ice (no friction) to prevent the car from slipping when traveling at 12 m/s? (use g…
You merge onto I45 and catch up with the traffic. On a very flat and straight stretch of the freeway, you are going at 70 mph constant speed.
Is your car at equilibrium at this moment?
Can you turn off the engine at this moment (never do that!) and why?
