- Mohamad is driving a car around a turn of radius r = 20 m. The road is on a banked curve of 30 degrees. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.35, what is the maximum speed that Mohamad can safely make the turn?arrow_forwardA bus negotiates a turn of radius 120 m while traveling at a speed of 96 km/h. If slipping just begins at this speed, what is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road? Find the optimum banking angle for the bus. With the answers, 0.605, and 31.2°arrow_forwardCircular turns of radius r in a race track are often banked at an angle θ to allow the cars to achieve higher speeds around the turns. Assume friction is not present, and use the coordinate system specified. Now write the magnitude of the normal force again, this time in terms of the gravitational force Fg, g, θ, the radius of the track r, and the velocity that the car is traveling v.arrow_forward
- What is the maximum speed with which a 1200-kgkg car can round a turn of radius 90.0 mm on a flat road if the coefficient of static friction between tires and road is 0.50?arrow_forwardA 2000 kg car is driving at a constant speed of 34.9 m/s takes a curve with a 80 m radius. The road is not banked (level road). What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road so that the car can take this curve without slipping? Round your final answer to 1 decimal place. Side note: The speed's value is, in the range of 40 mph to 80 mph, given randomly in the question. If the coefficient of static friction is larger than 1, the car would slip. It is unrealistic to have that high the coefficient of friction in real life. Don't over-speed!arrow_forwardA sample of blood is placed in a centrifuge of radius 20.0 cm.

- A car going around an unbanked curve is found to be able to take the curve with maximum speed “v.” You would like to triple the maximum speed the car can take the curve. To do this, you could: triple the coefficient of friction between the car and the road; decrease the radius of the road by a factor of three increase the radius of the road by a factor of nine decrease the coefficient of friction between the car and the road by a factor of nine;arrow_forwardAt what maximum speed can a car negotiate a turn on a wet road with coefficient of static friction 0.200 without sliding out of control?

The curve has radius 121 m and is banked at an angle such that a car can travel around the curve at 28.7 m/s and stay on the road without the aid of a frictional force. Calculate the required banking angle (as measured above the horizontal). 0 =arrow_forward
