Question
What coefficient of friction do cars need on a flat curve?
(a) Calculate the centripetal force exerted on a 950 kg car that negotiates a 450 m radius curve at
m
20.0
S
Enter to 3 significant figures
Fo 0.224
N
(b) Assuming an unbanked curve, find the minimum static coefficient of friction between the tires and
the road, static friction being the reason that keeps the car from slipping (see figure below).
W
!
No, that's not the correct answer.

Caption: This car on level ground is moving away and turning to the left. The centripetal force causing
the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum
coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.
