A car of mass m is negotiating a circular turn of radius R and speed v on a banked road with an angle of banking θ. The forces on the car are shown below. Ignore friction in this problem.
Draw a free body of the car.
Identify and show the radial direction. Pick coordinate axes with x pointing in the radial direction towards the center of the circle and y in the vertical direction. Show the coordinate axes on the free body diagram.
Set up Newton’s Laws in the radial and vertical direction. Which force provides the centripetal force?
Use the equations in part C to solve for the speed of the car in terms of R, Does the speed depend on the mass of the car?
If R=250.0 m, m=750.0 kg, calculate the speed of the car.
The truck in the figure is going around a circular track of radius 72 m, banked at a 60° angle. The centre of the circular track is to the left in the figure. A spider rests on the inside of the side window of the truck as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the truck window and the spider is 0.91. Find the maximum speed that the truck can have before the spider begins to slip down the window. Show your relevant free body diagram, and clearly show all your steps.
A car making a turn on a dry, banked highway ramp is experiencing friction. The coefficient of static
friction between the tires and the road is 0.60. The banking angle is 40° and the radius of the turn is 200
m.
a) Draw a free-body diagram of the car.
b) Determine the minimum speed at which the car can safely negotiate the turn without sliding down the
ramp.
