Why are curved roads banked​

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

So that vehicles do not topple or skid off the road.

Explanation:

As a vehicle is negotiating a curve, two equal and opposite forces act on the vehicle; centripetal force which keeps it moving and centrifugal force which tends to throw it out of the path.

In order to avoid skidding off the road curved roads are banked. Banking a curved surface provides the centripetal force that points towards the center of the road hence the vehicle or car does not skid off or topple.

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call v the original speed of the plane and d the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

t=\frac{d}{v}

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: \frac{v}{2}, in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.
