A curve in a speed track has a radius of 1, 140 ft and a rated speed of 125 mi/h. (Rated speed is speed at which no friction is needed to keep car on road - see hint). Knowing that a racing car starts skidding on the curve when traveling at a speed of 155 mi/h, determine the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the track under the prevailing conditions. (hint, you will need to find the banking angle in order to find the friction coefficient). Answer: 0.2097

A racetrack curve has radius 120.0 m and is banked at an angle of 18⋅0∘. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the roadway is 0.300 . A race car with mass 900 kg rounds the curve with the minimum speed needed to not slide down the banking. Part A As the car rounds the curve, what is the normal force exerted on it by the road? Express your answer with the appropriate units. n = Part B What is the car's speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. v =

Two blocks, labeled A and B, are connected by a massless string that runs over a massless and frictionless pulley. Block A is sliding up along an inclined plane with ordinary surface friction. The string from block A runs over the pulley and then to block B which hangs straight down. At the start of the experiment, block A is sliding up the plane and block B is moving downward, both at a speed of v0 = 1.5 m/s. Block A has a mass of 3.3 kg. Block B has a mass of 1.4 kg. The plane is inclined at an angle of 27 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is 0.36 (no units). Assume that the only significant forces on the blocks are normal forces, tensions forces, friction from the inclined plane, and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s2 ). From the start of the experiment, when block A is sliding up the plane at a speed of 1.5 m/s, how far (in units of meters) does block A slide before coming to a stop? Just one more "show your work" after this one. You will need to submit your solution for this question.
