What is the maximum speed with which a 1500 kg car can make a turn around a curve of radius 20 m on a level (unbanked) road without sliding? (This radius turn is about what you might expect at a major intersection in a city.)

Step 1
The maximum friction force can be calculated using the formula \(f_{\text{max}} = \mu \times N\), where \(N\) is the normal force and \(\mu\) is the coefficient of friction. Show more…

What is the maximum speed with which a 1500-kg car can make a turn around a curve of radius 20.0 m on a level (unbanked) road without sliding? The coefficient of static friction (ÎĽs) for rubber tires on pavement is 0.97. What centripetal force is exerted on the car as it rounds the curve at the maximum speed?
