Question

The coefficient of friction acting upon a 945kg car is 0. 850. The car is making a 180 degree turn around a curve with a radius of 35. 0m. Determine the maximum speed with which the car can make the turn

Answer 1

The maximum speed at which the car can make the turn is approximately 22.3 meters per second.

Explanation:

Using the formula v = √(u * g * r), where u is the coefficient of friction, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and r is the radius of the curve, we can calculate the maximum speed of the car:

v = √(0.850 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 35.0 m) = 22.3 m/s
