No. I do not agree with Stefan. Quite the contrary. I disagree
with his description of "<span>angle of incidence" as the angle between
the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray.
The correct description of "angle of incidence" is </span><span>the angle between
the NORMAL TO the surface of the mirror and the incoming ray.
Thus, the true angle of incidence is the complement of the angle that
Stefan calculates or measures.</span>
Answer:
a) ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
Explanation:
a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution
1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142
ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28
ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²
where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m
a = 2 * 9.86²
a = 194. 4 m/s²
c) µs = frictional force/ normal force
frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration
normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²
µs = ma/mg = a/g
µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of vehicle,
- radius of curvature,
- coefficient of friction,
<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>
where:
coefficient of friction
normal reaction force due to weight of the car
velocity of the car
is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.
