We will look at an example of a banked curve. In this case the normal force provides the needed radial acceleration. This allows

the vehicle to negotiate the curve without having to rely solely on friction. An engineer proposes to rebuild the curve, banking it so that, at a certain speed v, no friction at all is needed for the car to make the curve. At what angle β should the curve be banked if v = 25 m/s, (56 mi/h) and R=250m?

Answer:

The bank angle \beta\\ = 14.30 degrees

Explanation:

In engineering, banking a curve reduces the centripetal force on the cars as they turn round the bend. this helps prevent them from sliding off the road.

The bank angle can be calculated using the formula:

tan \beta =\frac{v^{2}}{gR}

where v = velocity of the car = 25 m/s

R = radius of the bank = 250 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

tan \beta =\frac{25^{2}}{9.81 \times 250}

tan\beta =0.25484

\beta = tan^{-1} (0.25484)= 14.30 degrees

There fore, the bank angle is approximately 14 degrees

5. A 4.00 kg object slides down a frictionless inclined plane with an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. What is the angle of the inclin
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The angle of the incline above horizontal is 17.81 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 4 kg

Acceleration of the object above the incline, a=3\ m/s^2

We need to find the angle of the incline above horizontal. The net force acting on the object along the incline is given by :

F_{net}=mg\ sin\theta

ma=mg\ sin\theta

a=g\ sin\theta

sin\theta=\dfrac{a}{g}

sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{9.8}

\theta=17.81^{\circ}

So, the angle of the incline above horizontal is 17.81 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

a)  t = 11.407 s, b)   x = 175.66 m,  v = c)         v = 30.80 m / s

Explanation:

a) This is a kinematics exercise, let's write the equation of each vehicle

car

          x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

Let's fix our reference system at the point where the car is, indicate that the car stops from rest vo = 0

          x₀ = v₀ = 0

we substitute

          x = ½ a t²

truck

         x₂= v₀ t

         v₀ = 15.4 m / s

at the point where they are, their positions are equal

       ½ a t² = vo t

        t = 2 vo / a

calculate us

        t = 2 15.4 / 2.70

        t = 11.407 s

b) the distance to reach it

        x = ½ to t²

        x = ½ 2.70 11.407²

        x = 175.66 m

c)  the speed of the car is

       v = vo + a t

       vo = 0

       v = at

       v = 2.70 11.407

       v = 30.80 m / s
