What is the maximum speed that a car can maneuver over a circular turn of radius r = 75.0 m without sliding if the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.780? (b) What is the maximum speed that a car can maneuver over a circular turn of radius r = 25.0 m without sliding if the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.120?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of Track [tex]r_1=75 m[/tex]

coefficient of Static Friction [tex]\mu _s=0.78[/tex]

Here centripetal Force is Balanced by Friction Force      

thus

[tex]\frac{mv^2}{r}=\mu _sg[/tex]

[tex]\frac{v^2}{r}=\mu _sg[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\mu _srg}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{0.78\times 75\times 9.8}[/tex]

[tex]v=23.94 m/s[/tex]

(b)For [tex]r_2=25 m[/tex]

[tex]\mu _s=0.12[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\mu _sr_2g}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{0.12\times 25\times 9.8}[/tex]

[tex]v=5.42 m/s[/tex]
