A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.90 m/s2

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Approximately $0.608$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The question provided very little information about this motion. Therefore, replace these quantities with letters. These unknown quantities should not appear in the conclusion if this question is actually solvable.

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car.
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circular track.

This answer will approach this question in two steps:

Step one: determine the centripetal force when the car is about to skid.
Step two: calculate the coefficient of static friction.

For simplicity, let $a_{T}$ represent the tangential acceleration ( $1.90\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ ) of this car.

<h3>Centripetal Force when the car is about to skid</h3>

The question gave no information about the distance that the car has travelled before it skidded. However, information about the angular displacement is indeed available: the car travelled (without skidding) one-quarter of a circle, which corresponds to $90^\circ$ or $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ radians.

The angular acceleration of this car can be found as $\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{a_{T}}{r}$ . ( $a_T$ is the tangential acceleration of the car, and $r$ is the radius of this circular track.)

Consider the SUVAT equation that relates initial and final (tangential) velocity ( $u$ and $v$ ) to (tangential) acceleration $a_{T}$ and displacement $x$ :

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a_{T}\cdot x$ .

The idea is to solve for the final angular velocity using the angular analogy of that equation:

$\left(\omega(\text{final})\right)^2 - \left(\omega(\text{initial})\right)^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta$ .

In this equation, $\theta$ represents angular displacement. For this motion in particular:

$\omega(\text{initial}) = 0$ since the car was initially not moving.
$\theta = \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}$ since the car travelled one-quarter of the circle.

Solve this equation for $\omega(\text{final})$ in terms of $a_T$ and $r$ :

$\begin{aligned}\omega(\text{final}) &= \sqrt{2\cdot \frac{a_T}{r} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}}\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ represent the mass of this car. The centripetal force at this moment would be:

$\begin{aligned}F_C &= m\, \omega^2\, r \\ &=m\cdot \left(\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}\right)\cdot r = \pi\, m\, a_T\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Coefficient of static friction between the car and the track</h3>

Since the track is flat (not banked,) the only force on the car in the horizontal direction would be the static friction between the tires and the track. Also, the size of the normal force on the car should be equal to its weight, $m\, g$ .

Note that even if the size of the normal force does not change, the size of the static friction between the surfaces can vary. However, when the car is just about to skid, the centripetal force at that very moment should be equal to the maximum static friction between these surfaces. It is the largest-possible static friction that depends on the coefficient of static friction.

Let $\mu_s$ denote the coefficient of static friction. The size of the largest-possible static friction between the car and the track would be:

$F(\text{static, max}) = \mu_s\, N = \mu_s\, m\, g$ .

The size of this force should be equal to that of the centripetal force when the car is about to skid:

$\mu_s\, m\, g = \pi\, m\, a_{T}$ .

Solve this equation for $\mu_s$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g}$ .

Indeed, the expression for $\mu_s$ does not include any unknown letter. Let $g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}$ . Evaluate this expression for $a_T = 1.90\;\rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ :

$\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g} \approx 0.608$ .

Explain why a plant may look green in sunlight but under red lighting

umka2103 [35]

plants look green in sunlight because, all other colors except green are absorbed by the plants and only green color is reflected back, hence plants look green in sunlight.

If you push on a wall with a force of 200 N, with what force does the wall push back?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Water towers store water above the level of consumers for times of heavy use, eliminating the need for high-speed pumps. How hig

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

So height will be 47.387 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure $P=4.63\times 10^5N/m^2$

Density of water $\rho =997kg/m^3$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that pressure is given as $P=\rho gh$

$4.63\times 10^5=997\times 9.8\times h$

$h=47.387m$

So height will be 47.387 m

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion? *

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Explanation:

Every force sent into an object will sent a force in return.
