A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f

riction between the tires and the road is 0.350. At what speed will the car begin to skid sideways?

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

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

where

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

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

The car will begin to skid sideways at 18.5 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Centripetal Acceleration can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{ v^2 } { R } }

<em>a = Centripetal Acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

Centripetal Force can be formulated as follows:

\large {\boxed {F = m \frac{ v^2 } { R } }

<em>F = Centripetal Force ( m/s² )</em>

<em>m = mass of Particle ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Tangential Speed of Particle ( m/s )</em>

<em>R = Radius of Circular Motion ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of car = m = 1000 kg

radius of curve = R = 100 m

coefficient of static friction = μ = 0.350

<u>Asked:</u>

speed of the car = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will derive the formula to calculate the maximum speed of the car:</em>

\Sigma F = ma

f = m \frac{v^2}{R}

\mu N = m \frac{v^2}{R}

\mu m g = m \frac{v^2}{R}

\mu g = \frac{v^2}{R}

v^2 = \mu g R

\boxed {v = \sqrt { \mu g R } }

v = \sqrt { 0.350 \times 9.8 \times 100 }

v = \sqrt { 343 }

v = 7 \sqrt{7} \texttt{ m/s}

\boxed {v \approx 18.5 \texttt{ m/s}}

Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

v = √(25/m)

Explanation:

KE = ½mv²

v = √(2KE/m)

We know the kinetic energy, but not the mass

v = √(25/m)
