A 850-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum speed of 43 m/s without slipping. The turn has a radius of 190 m. Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force (called the downforce) of 11000 N on the car. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the car's tires? (b) What would be the maximum speed if no downforce acted on the car? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 220 m and bank angle θ, where the coefficient of static friction between tires and pavement is μs. A car (without negative lift) is driven around the curve as shown in the figure below. Find an expression for the car speed vmax that puts the car on the verge of sliding out, in terms of R, θ, and μs. Evaluate vmax for a bank angle of θ = 11∘ and for (a) μs = 0.77 (dry pavement) and (b) μs = 0.047 (wet or icy pavement). (Now you can see why accidents occur in highway curves when icy conditions are not obvious to drivers, who tend to drive at normal speeds. ) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s on a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83 m. The coefficient of static friction between the car and the road is 0.78. What is the magnitude of the force of static friction acting on the car? 1.6×104 N 2.1×104 N 8.2×103 N The car will slide as it goes around the curve because the static friction is not strong enough. 5.7×103 N

A loaded penguin sled weighing 61.0 N rests on a plane inclined at angle θ = 25.0∘ to the horizontal (see the figure). Between the sled and the plane, the coefficient of static friction is 0.300, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.110. (a) What is the minimum magnitude of the force F→, parallel to the plane, that will prevent the sled from slipping down the plane? (b) What is the minimum magnitude F that will start the sled moving up the plane? (c) What value of F is required to move the sled up the plane at constant velocity?
