Question
a) Find the centripetal acceleration of a vehicle through a radiused corner given that the radius of the corner is 50.0m and the vehicle is going around the corner at a steady speed of 10.0m/s
b) if the car’s mass is 1200kg what is the magnitude of the centripetal force needed to prevent the car from sliding sideways?
c)if the corner is not banked (so that the only force is friction) what type of friction (kinetic or static) would be needed to do the job? How big is the coefficient of friction if the car can not safely exceed 10.0m/s as it goes around the corner?

If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 270 m and bank angle 9, where the coefficient of static friction between tires and pavement is us. A car (without negative lift) is driven around the curve as shown in Figure (a). Find an expression for the car speed Vmax that puts the car on the verge of sliding out, in terms of R, 8, and us. Evaluate Vmax for a bank angle of 0= 11° and for (a) μ = 0.48 (dry pavement) and (b) us= 0.043 (wet or icy pavement).
