Hi Can you please help me solve D and E?
Question 2 – Go Kart Track Your go karts have a mass of 450kg and travel around a circular curve on a flat, horizontal track at a radius of 42 m.
A) The maximum frictional force between the tyres and the road is equal to 20% of the weight of the car and driver. Calculate the coefficient of friction when an adult of mass 70kg is driving the kart.
B) Calculate maximum angular velocity at which the car can travel round the curve at a constant radius of 42 m.
C) Calculate the maximum linear velocity.
D) You decide that this is not nearly fast enough and decide to create a banked track of 12O, what is the maximum linear velocity now?
E) Describe qualitatively how this could change if a child were driving the kart.
For A I have an answer of 0.2
For B I have 0.218 rad/sec
For C I have 9.156 m/s
If I have these wrong it would be useful to see where if possible.

- Pr1. A ladder consists of two legs of mass m attached together by a frictionless joint. The ladder is put onto a horizontal surface so that the angle between the two legs is 20. The center of mass of the legs are located at their geometrical center. m a) What is the direction and magnitude of the force acting at the joint on the right leg? b) At least what should the static coefficient of friction be if the ladder does not slip on the surface?arrow_forwardCan someone please help me to solve the following question showing all needed work and formulas along with needed diagrams.

For this series of 4 questions, two blocks, A and B, are connected using the cable and pulley system as shown. (The cable and pulley system is friction-less and weight- less.) The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the inclined plane is μk = 0. 2. Initially the blocks are moving but eventually come to stop. You will be asked to solve for different things. Please pay attention: the numbers may change from problem to problem since they are randomized. 3) If the blocks and the cable-pulley system are considered as one system, during this process from the blocks moving to them coming to stop, which forces are doing work to this system? A B C D Weight of block B. Weight of block A. Friction between block A and the incline plane. Tension force in the cable connecting to block B. Tension force in the cable connecting to block A.arrow_forward
