A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
al force required to keep the faster car on the road without skidding is F, then the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is __-
Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.
For faster car on the road,
v = 2v
..........(1)
For the slower car on the road,
............(2)
Equation (1) becomes,
So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.
A sound wave in a steel rail has a frequency of 620 Hz and a wavelength of 10.5 m. What is the speed of sound in steel? U f = ? S f = 3 x 108 m/s) / 0.06 m 14 so it will be 14
