Answer:

25.59 m/s²

Explanation:

Using the formula for  the force of static friction:

f_s = \mu_s N --- (1)

where;

f_s = static friction force

\mu_s = coefficient of static friction

N = normal force

Also, recall that:

F = mass × acceleration

Similarly, N = mg

here, due to min. acceleration of the car;

N = ma_{min}

From equation (1)

f_s = \mu_s ma_{min}

However, there is a need to balance the frictional force by using the force due to the car's acceleration between the quarter and the wall of the rocket.

Thus,

F = f_s

mg = \mu_s ma_{min}

a_{min} = \dfrac{mg }{ \mu_s m}

a_{min} = \dfrac{g }{ \mu_s }

where;

\mu_s = 0.383 and g = 9.8 m/s²

a_{min} = \dfrac{9.8 \ m/s^2 }{0.383 }

\mathbf{a_{min}= 25.59 \ m/s^2}

What is centripetal force that allows a car to move around a sharp curve in a roadway?
Ulleksa [173]
<span> The centripetal force that allows a car to move around a sharp curve in a roadway is the frictional force between the tires of its wheels and the surface of the road. </span>
