Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the centripetal force exerted on the car using the formula for centripetal force: \( F_c = \frac{m \cdot v^2}{r} \), where \( m = 900 \, kg \), \( v = 25 \, m/s \), and \( r = 500 \, m \). Show more…

5. Friction between the tires of a car and the ground, when the car takes a curve on a smooth surface. a. Calculate the centripetal force of a 600kg car which is moving in 400m radius curve and going at 20m / s. b. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the tires.

A curve of radius 150 m is banked at an angle of 10°. An 800-kg car negotiates the curve at 85 km/h without skidding. Neglect the effects of air drag and rolling friction. Find (a) the normal force exerted by the pavement on the tires, (b) the frictional force exerted by the pavement on the tires, (c) the minimum coefficient of static friction between the pavement and the tires.

A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 220.0 $\mathrm{m}$ . A car rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ , (a) What is the minimum coefficient of friction the coefficient of friction (b) Suppose the highway is icy and the coefficient of friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third what you found in part (a). What should be the maximum speed of the car so it can round the curve safely?
