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 µ_s = 0.100, the same as for shoes on ice
_________m/s²

Expert Solution

coefficient of friction

dry concrete

on wet concrete

on ice

where:
  static friction force.
  Normal force
  car weight
horizontal component of weight

vertical component of the weight

Applying Newton's second law in the x axis

but the sum of the forces on the horizontal axis is equal to

combining equations

remember and

now

is necessary to obtain expression N

not accelerate vertically

but also

combining

replacing

expression of N

substituting in

is obtained

simplifying m

organizing

acceleration of gravity

the equation is evaluated for each coefficient of friction

(a) on dry concrete

evaluated numerically

(b) on wet concrete

evaluated numerically

(c) on ice

evaluated numerically

the negative indicates that the car can not speed upward

A road heading due east passes over a small hill. You drive a car of mass mat constant speed over the top of the hill, where the shape of the roadway is well approximated as an arc of a circle with radius R. Sensors have been placed on the road surface there to measure the downward force that cars exert on the surface at various speeds. The table gives values of this force versus speed for your car is shown...

My car is Jeep Cherokee 2016 latitude with two-wheel rear drive, and please give me a complete plan to test my Jeep's suspension system. For the rest information, I can use the values get from Google. Is it underdamped, overdamped, or else? Is it time to replace them yet? Why? If you can provide graph in excel, it would be great, Thanks.

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?

Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is75800 kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.00 ? 103 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on the earth's surface (9.80 m/s2).

A car is entering the freeway. The merge lane has a heading of 260°. The car has an inelastic collision with a truck that had a velocity of 80 km/h at 270°. The car had a mass of 1400 kg and a speed of 75 km/h. The mass of the truck was 1800 kg. What is the initial common velocity of the car and truck after the collision? Show all of your work

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...
