Question 6
A car is turning a curve of radius 24 m.
The curve is unbanked (flat), meaning
friction is providing all of the
centripetal force. Because of hazardous
road conditions, the coefficient of
static friction is reduced to only 0.31.
What is the maximum velocity at which
the car can travel around the curve?
Give your answer in m/s with at least
three significant figures.
Jimuel Pacquiao's sports car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. What happens to the centripetal acceleration of
his car if the speed is doubled?
A The centripetal acceleration is decreased by a factor of one-half.
B) The centripetal acceleration is decreased by a factor of one-fourth.
c) The centripetal acceleration increases by a factor of 4.
D) The centripetal acceleration increases by a factor of 2.
5. The drawing shows a version of the loop-the-loop trick for a small car. If the car is given an initial speed of v = 3.4 m/s, what is the largest value that the radius r can have if the car is to remain in contact with the circular track at all times?
