- A track is built so that going around a curve (R = 65.0 m), the banking of the track will allow the automobile to safely travel the curve when there is no friction at a speed of 22.0 m/s. (a) What is the angle of the banking for the curve? (b) What coefficient of friction is required for the vehicle to travel the same curve with a speed of 34.0 m/s?arrow_forwardAn automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 30 m. (i.e. the road is flat, not banked) The coefficient of friction between tires and road is 0.50. The maximum speed with which this car can round this curve, and the direction of the frictional force is: (note: you may use g = 10 m/s/s) 10 m/s; radially inward 10 m/s; radially outward 12 m/s; radially inward 12 m/s; radially outward 14 m/s; radially inward 14 m/s; radially outward Not enough information is given.arrow_forwardA man was originally walking at 1.5 m/s and then reaches a speed of 8.1 m/s in 2.4 s. He estimated that his coefficient of friction was 0.30. Was it above or below this value?arrow_forward
- A car of mass m = 1100 kg is traveling down a θ = 14 degree incline. When the car's speed is v0 = 13 m/s, a mechanical failure causes all four of its brakes to lock. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is μk = 0.45. Calculate the distance the car travels down the hill L in meters until it comes to a stop at the endarrow_forwardA car traveling at 60 mph (97,000 m/hr) can stop in 48 m on a level road. Determine the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. Assume that the car starts skidding the moment the driver hits the brakes.arrow_forwardAt an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 102m long. The accident was occurred on a rainy day, and the coefficient of kinetic friction was estimated to be 0.36. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.arrow_forward
- At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car’s skid mark to be 112 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.42. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.arrow_forwardOn a typical road, the force of friction during a turn can be up to 195,000 N. If a car has a mass of 1050kg and makes a turn with a radius of 20.0m, how fast can it be going?arrow_forwardA tobogganer coasts down a hill and then goes over a slight rise with speed 2.7 m/s. The top of this rise can be taken to be a circle of radius 4.1m. The toboggan and occupant have a combined mass of 110 kg. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the toboggan is 0.10, what frictional force is exerted on the toboggan by the snow as the toboggan goes over the top of the rise? Start with a free-body diagram of the toboggan with the person inside, at the top of the rise. (Use gg = 9.8 m/s2) Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forward
- we consider an automobile of mass m traveling along a curved but level road. To avoid skidding, the road must supply a frictional force F = ma, where a is the car's acceleration vector. The maximum magnitude of the frictional force is umg, where µ is the co- efficient of friction and g = 9.8 m/s². Let v be the car's speed in meters per second. Show that the car will not skid if the curvature k of the road is such that (with R = 1/k) (v')? + R 0) contribute equally to skidding.arrow_forwardA car is moving at 20 m/s along a horizontal road has its brakes suddenly applied and eventually comes to rest. What is the shortest distance in which it can be stopped if the friction coefficient between tires and road is 0.90? Assume that all four wheels brake identically. If the brakes don't lock the car stops via static friction.arrow_forwardA driver in a 1000 kg car traveling at 36 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the horizontal road is 0.80, how long will the skid marks be?arrow_forward
