Question

if a certain car, going with speed v1, rounds a level curve with a radius r1, it is just on the verge of skidding. if its speed is now doubled, the radius of the tightest curve on the same road that it can round without skidding is:

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4R1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario ,the radius of the tightest curve on the same road without skidding is as follows:

As we know that

Centeripetal Acceleration is

= v^2 ÷ r

In the case when velocity becomes 2 times so the r would be 4 times

So, the radius of the tightest curve on the same road without skidding is 4R1
