A car travels at a constant speed of 30.0 mi/h (13.4 m/s) on a level circular turn of radius 50.0 m. What minimum coefficient of static friction, μs, between the tires and roadway will allow the car to make the circular turn without sliding?

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

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approximately 57.0 m. The track is completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 24.5 m/s (about 55 mph) around the turn. What is the race car's centripetal acceleration ac? ac = m/s2 Which force is responsible for the centripetal acceleration in this case? normal friction gravity weight What is the minimum coefficient of static friction μs between the race car's tires and the track necessary to keep the car from skidding into the wall on the outside of the turn? μs =
