<span>If only one force is acting an object it can have zero acceleration but it cannot have zero velocity. This occurs because acceleration is a change in speed, therefore when one force is acting upon the object the speed will remain constant. It can't have zero velocity because if one force is acting upon it then it is moving and no matter what that means it will have a velocity that isn't zero.</span>

An unbanked (flat) curve of radius 150 m is rated for a maximum speed of 32.5 m/s. At what maximum speed, in m/s, should a flat

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The maximum speed is 21.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the flat curve, r₁ = 150 m

maximum speed, $v_{max}$ = 32.5 m/s

The maximum acceleration on the unbanked curve is calculated as;

$a_c_{max} = \frac{V_{max}^2}{r} \\\\a_c_{max} = \frac{32.5^2}{150} \\\\a_c_{max} = 7.04 \ m/s^2$

the radius of the second flat curve, r₂ = 65.0 m

the maximum speed this unbanked curve should be rated is calculated as;

$a_c_{max} = \frac{V_{max}^2}{r_2} \\\\V_{max}^2 = a_c_{max} \ \times \ r_2\\\\V_{max} = \sqrt{a_c_{max} \ \times \ r_2} \\\\V_{max} =\sqrt{7.04 \ \times \ 65} \\\\V_{max} = 21.39 \ m/s$
