Answer:
a. 0.947 m/s^2
b. 1304.54 N
c. 0.0966
Explanation:
mass of car = 13500 N = 13500/9.8 = 1377.55 kg
velocity = 50 km/h = 50,000 m/h = 13.9 m/s
raidus = 204 m
a. centripetal acceleartion = v^2/r = 13.9^2/204 = 0.947 m/s^2
b. centripetal force = m*centripetal acceleration = 1377.55 * 0.947 = 1304.54 N
c. In order for the car to round the curve safely, static friction = centripetal force
static friction = coefficient of friction (mu) * mg = mu* 1377.55*9.8 = 13500mu
13500mu = 1304.54
mu = 1304.54/13500 = 0.0966
The acceleration, force and coefficient of friction is required.
Centripetal acceleration is [tex]0.965\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
Centripetal force is [tex]1328\ \text{N}[/tex]
Coefficient of friction is [tex]0.1[/tex]
N = Weight of car = 13500 N
v = Velocity = [tex]50=\dfrac{50}{3.6}=13.89\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
r = Radius = [tex]2\times 10^2\ \text{m}[/tex]
m = Mass of car = [tex]\dfrac{N}{g}[/tex]
g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
Centripetal acceleration is
[tex]a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\dfrac{13.89^2}{2\times 10^2}\\\Rightarrow a_c=0.965\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
Force is given by
[tex]F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{N}{g}a_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{13500}{9.81}\times 0.965\\\Rightarrow F_c=1328\ \text{N}[/tex]
Coefficient of friction is given by
[tex]\mu=\dfrac{F_c}{N}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1328}{13500}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.098\approx 0.1[/tex]
