A road with a radius of 75.0 m is banked so that a car can navigate the curve at a speed of 15.0 m/s without any friction. When a car is going 31.8 m/s on this curve, what minimum coefficient of static friction is needed if the car is to navigate the curve without slipping?

Explanation:

You are in the chapter on Physics about uniform circular motion and gravity. This is a centripetal force problem in particular, and the equation for that is

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$ where

F_c is the centripetal force needed to keep the car moving in its circular path,

m is the mass of the car,

v is the velocity with which the car is moving, and

r is the radius of the circle that the car is moving around.

For us, the centripetal force is supplied by the friction keeping the car on the road, altering the equation to become

$f=\frac{mv^2}{r}$ and friction is defined by

f = μ F_n (the coefficient of friction multiplied by the weight of the car).

Going on and getting buried even deeper,

F_n=mg which says that the weight of the car is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity. Putting all that together, finally, we have the equation we need to solve this problem:

μ·m·g = $\frac{mv^2}{r}$ and we solve this for μ:

μ = $\frac{mv^2}{mgr}$ and it just so happens that the mass of the car cancels out. (I'll tell you why the mass of the car doesn't matter at the end of this problem). Filling in and solving for the coefficient of friction:

μ = $\frac{31.8^2}{(9.8)(75.0)}$ to 2 significant figures is

μ = 1.4

The mass of the car doesn't affect whether or not the car can stay on the curve. Even though a car with a greater mass will have a greater frictional force, that doesn't mean that it's easier for that car to stay on the road; a larger mass only means that a larger centripetal force is needed to keep it moving in a circle. This makes the gain in friction become offset by the fact that a larger centripetal force is necessary. Thus,

On a flat curve, the mass of the object experiencing circular motion does not affect the velocity at which it can stay on the curve.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.
