Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a

ad-work [718]

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, $\mu=0.39$

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 :

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}$

$v=\sqrt{0.39\times 79\times 9.8}$

v = 17.37 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car is 17.37 m/s.

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law
