Answer:
It is directed inward, toward the center of a circle.
Answer:
D. 0.9
Explanation:
Calculating minimum coefficient of static friction, we first resolve the forces (normal and frictional) acting on the vehicle at an angle to the horizontal into their x and y components. After this, we can now substitute the values of x and y components into equation of static friction. Diagrammatic illustration is attached.
Resolving into x component:
∑
------(1)
Resolving into y component:
∑
------(2)
Static frictional force,
μ
------(3)
substituting
from equation (1) and
from equation (2) into equation (3)
μ
μ
μ 
μ 
The angle the vehicles make with the horizontal α = 42°
μ ≥ tan 42°
μ ≥ 0.9
There are two qualities that can describe most variables - direction and magnitude. A vector possesses both a direction and magnitude, while a scalar possesses only a magnitude.
Hope this helps!

The centripetal force upon an object is expressed as
F = mv^2/r
So let's substitute the known values and calculate
F = mv^2/r
F = 1.0 kg * (5.0 m/s)^2 / 0.5 m
F = 1.0 kg * 25 m^2/s^2 / 0.5 m
F = 25 kg*m^2/s^2 / 0.5 m
F = 50 kg*m/s^2
F = 50 N
So the answer is 50 N which matches one of the available choices.</span>
