Answer:

c. 0.816

Explanation:

Let the mass of car be 'm' and coefficient of static friction be 'μ'.

Given:

Speed of the car (v) = 40.0 m/s

Radius of the curve (R) = 200 m

As the car is making a circular turn, the force acting on it is centripetal force which is given as:

Centripetal force is, F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

The frictional force is given as:

Friction = Normal force × Coefficient of static friction

f=\mu N

As there is no vertical motion, therefore, N=mg. So,

f=\mu mg

Now, the centripetal force is provided by the frictional force. Therefore,

Frictional force = Centripetal force

f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu=\frac{v^2}{Rg}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

\mu = \frac{(40\ m/s)^2}{200\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\\mu=\frac{1600\ m^2/s^2}{1960\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.816

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).
