centripetal force points towards the center of the circle, and force friction points the opposite way. Set the two equal to each other
Force Normal * coefficient of static friction = mass*velocity^2/radius
(mg)Us = mv^2/r
mass isn't given in the problem because it cancels on both sides.
9.8Us = V^2/r
9.8(.600) = v^2/300
v^2 = 1764
v = 42 m/s

A car enters a 300-m radius flat curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.600. What is the maximum speed which the car can travel around the curve without sliding?
When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
