Question

Consider a car with a mass of 1250 kg moving at a constant speed of (22.0 A) m/s in a circular off ramp with a radius of (65.0 +B) m. What does the coefficient of static friction have to be for the car to just maintain its motion of ramp? Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

A=7
B=2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of the car mg = m g

frictional force acting on the car = μ mg where μ is coefficient of friction

= m μ g

This force provides centripetal force , hence

m μ g = m v² / R

μ = v² / rg

= 22 x 22 / 65 x 9.8

= .759
