Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
1 answer:
Answer:
Maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of the circular track, r = 79 m
The coefficient of friction,
To find,
The maximum speed of car.
Solution,
Let v is the maximum speed of the car at which it can safely travel. It can be calculated by balancing the centripetal force and the gravitational force acting on it as :
v = 17.37 m/s
So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.
From the image:
When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy
Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force
Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N
