Question

You are driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement. what is the fastest you can go before you lose traction, assuming the coefficient of static friction is 0.20?

Answer 1

On driving your motorcycle in a circle of radius 75 m on wet pavement, the fastest you can go before you lose traction, assuming the coefficient of static friction is 0.20 is 147m/s

Friction helps to maintain the slipping of the vehicle on the road hence lays a very important role.

Maximum velocity of a road with friction is given by the formula,

v = μRg

where, v is the maximum velocity

μ is the coefficient of static friction

R is the radius of the circle road

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given,

μ = 0.20

R = 75m

g = 9.8m/s²

On substituting the given values in the above formula,

v = 0.20× 75 ×9.8

v = 147m/s

So, the Maximum velocity of the wet road is 147m/s.
