A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 25 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional f

orce acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one third of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

Answer:

The velocity must be reduced to one third to stay on the road

Explanation:

The sideways force that friction must resist comes from the centrifugal acceleration due to the turn.

fc=mv2Rfc=mv2R

the frictional force is given by

ff=μmgff=μmg where μμ is the static friction coefficient

if the car is not to skid

fc≤fffc≤ff so    

mv2R≤μmgmv2R≤μmg

v≤μgR−−−−√v≤μgR

thus vv varies as the square root of μμ

so if μμ is reduced by 9, vv must be reduced by 9–√=39=3

and thus the speed must be reduced to<u> 26</u> m/s

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

s=ut+0.5at^2

s=h

h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters

Part b

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs
