Static friction keeps the car from skidding off the road and points toward the center of the curve. By Newton's second law, the car experiences

• net vertical force

F [normal] - F [weight] = 0

• net horizontal force

F [friction] = ma = mv²/r

where v is the tangential speed of the car.

It follows that

F [normal] = F [weight] = mg

and when static friction is maximized at the car's maximum speed,

F [friction] = µ F[normal] = 0.402 mg

Solve for v :

0.402 mg = mv²/r   ⇒   v = √(0.402 g (93.5 m)) ≈ 19.2 m/s

What is occurring when two waves traveling along the same medium meet and cancel each other out?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Destructive interference

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when waves come together in such a way that they completely cancel each other out. When two waves interfere destructively, they must have the same amplitude in opposite directions.
