For a car moving on a circular track, the frictional force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the car in circular motion. Therefore, we can write:

$\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force acting between the tires of the car and the road, while the term on the right is the centripetal force. The various terms are:

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

In this problem,

r = 750 m is the radius

$v=85 mph \cdot \frac{1609}{3600}=38.0 m/s$ is the speed

And solving for $\mu$ , we find the coefficient of friction required to keep the car in circular motion:

$\mu = \frac{v^2}{rg}=\frac{38.0^2}{(750)(9.8)}=0.196$

What is the Sl unit for speed

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
