A 880-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum speed of 44 m/s without slipping. The turn has a radius of 120 m. Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force (called the downforce) of 9800 N on the car. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the car's tires? (b) What would be the maximum speed if no downforce acted on the car?

A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 19 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-fourth of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car with four wheel drive that is heading up a 8° slope (one that makes an angle of 8° with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that the static coefficient of friction is involved--that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (a) on dry concrete ________m/s2 (b) on wet concrete _________ m/s2 (c) on ice, assuming that µs = 0.100, the same as for shoes on ice _________m/s2

A car of mass 1110 kg enters a banked turn with a banking angle of 11.1° and a radius of 300 m at a speed of 30.0 m/s. The coefficient of static friction between the car’s wheels and the pavement is 0.0881. The turn covers a total of 1 45°. (a) If the car experiences a drag force that of D=kv where k=32.0kg/s, how much thrust must the car provide to maintain constant velocity in the turn? (b) If the...

Alice is driving a race car around an essentially circular track. Brian, who is sitting at a fixed position at the edge of the track, measures the time that Alice takes to complete a lap by starting his watch when Alice passes by his position (call this event E) and stopping it when Alice passes his positin again (call this event F). This situation is also observed by Cara and Dave, who are passengers in a train that passes very close to...

In class, you have seen how to calculate the maximum speed for a car to go around a flat curve (with friction), and for a banked curve (without friction). Here, you will consider the general case. (For each question part below, include a free-body diagram.) a) (3 points) Explain briefly why the car can go around the banked curve safely even without friction, and why that is not the case for the flat curve. b) (5 points) Now consider a...
