Question

g At some point the road makes a right turn with a radius of 117 m. If the posted speed limit along this part of the highway is 25.1 m/s, how much should Raquel bank the turn so that a vehicle traveling at the posted speed limit can make the turn without relying on the frictional force between the tires and the road

Answer 1

Ф = 28.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

radius (r) = 117m

velocity (v) = 25.1 m/s

required: angle Ф

Ф = inv tan (v² / (r * g)) we know that g = 9.8

Ф = inv tan (25.1² / (117 * 9.8))

Ф = 28.9°
