The coefficient of friction must be 0.196

Explanation:

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

I NEED HELP, PLEASE.
Zinaida [17]
Hello,


I'd be glad to help.

Momentum  =  (mass) times (speed)

                                           =  (75 kg)  x  (18 m/s)

                                           =         1,350 kg-m/s  .    

Hope this helps

If you increase the force on an item without changing the mass you increase acceleration? true or false?
rusak2 [61]
(F)(M)=A
Force times Mass equals Acceleration.
The answer is TRUE. 
If the mass increases the number on the left side of the equation increases, thus increasing the right side as well.
