A car turns a corner on a slippery road


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 354 People


A car turns a corner on a slippery road at a constant speed 10 m/s If the coefficient of friction is 0.5,the minimum radius of arc in meter in which the car turns..

Answered by admin @



Condition is, A car turns a corner on a slippery road , v\leq\sqrt{\mu rg}

where v is the speed of car , \mu is coefficient of friction , r is the radius of arc in which the car turns and g is acceleration due to gravity.

now, v ≤ \sqrt{\mu rg}

squaring both sides,

v² ≤ \mu rg

v²/\mug ≤ r

hence, minimum value of r = v²/\mug

now, r = (10)²/(0.5 × 10) = 100/5 = 20m

hence, radius of arc in which the car turns is 20m
