At an intersection, a car is driving through a turn with an effective radius 64 ft. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction are 0.4 and 0.7, respectively. Derive an expression for the maximum speed at which the car can drive through this turn.

The set up Newton's Law and find the answer. Eventually evaluate your answer.

Below answer with the speed in mph (use mph as units).

Solutions

Expert Solution

According to the given data

radius of the turn r = 64 ft = 19.50 m

the force acting at the centre of the turn is cnetripetal force which is equal to the force of gravity

                            

                           

                           

                              v = 8.74 m/s converting in to mph

                            v = 19.555 mph

You have a 1 ft radius dartboard placed in the middle of a 2 ft x 2 ft square backboard. You can estimate the value of Pi by randomly throwing darts at the board, because the ratio of the darts hitting the dartboard compared to those hitting the backboard (i.e. all of them), will be equal to the ratio of the area of the dartboard to the area of the board. Or: Dh / Dt = Adb / Ab where:...

Joe leaves an intersection traveling west in his car. He is 20 feet from the intersection 4 seconds later. At the same time, Joshua leaves the intersection heading north in his car so that his position 4 seconds later is 26 feet from the intersection. If, at that instant time, Joe's speed is 8 feet per second and Joshuas' speed is 12 feet per second, find the rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing to the...
