In a recent study of how mice negotiate turns, the mice ran around a circular 90° turn on a track with a radius of 0.15 m. The maximum speed measured for a mouse (mass = 18.5 g) running around this turn was 1.29 m/s. What is the minimum coefficient of friction between the track and the mouse’s feet that would allow a turn at this speed?

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.
