A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 75 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 260 m, what is the correct angle of banking of the road? (b) If the curve were not banked, what would be the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at 75 km/h? (a) Number 9.667 Units ° (degrees) (b) Number 0.1703 Units ° (degrees)

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if a car is to round a level curve of radius 85m at a speed of 26.4 m/s? Assume that the tires are not slipping , but about to break free. (Answer =0.84)

The Texas Motor Speedway is an oval racing track with curves of radius 229 m that are banked at an angle of 24.0°. The size of the track allows for race cars to achieve speeds in excess of 400 km/h. An unintended consequence of the banked curves and high speeds is that race car drivers experience excessive G forces, especially in the "vertical" direction (with respect to their body position), causing dizziness and loss of consciousness. (a) A daring driver, pushing his car to the limit, experiences 4.67g of centripetal acceleration during one banking maneuver. What is the speed of his car during the maneuver? (Give your answer in km/h.) km/h (b) If the driver is seated so that during the banking maneuver his upper body is aligned with the direction normal to the banked curve, what is the magnitude of the component of the centripetal acceleration along the driver's upper body? (Give your answer in terms of g.) a delete

A man riding a bicycle with a 100 kg total mass is performing horizontal circles on flat track. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and track is 0.600, find the smallest radius the man can make when travelling at a speed of 10.0 m/s.
