  1. What do you need to know to determine how fast a car can go through a curve without slipping?

  2. What do you need to know to determine how fast a car can go through a curve without slipping? Radius of curve Coefficient of friction

  3. What are the conditions for maximum speed? • When the centripetal force is equal to the frictional force. Fc = mv2/r Ff = µ Fn and Fn = mg

  4. What are the conditions for maximum speed? • When the centripetal force is equal to the frictional force. Fc = mv2/r Ff = µ Fn and Fn = mg Therefore: mv2/r = µmg

  5. What are the conditions for maximum speed? • When the centripetal force is equal to the frictional force. Fc = mv2/r Ff = µ Fn and Fn = mg Therefore: mv2/r = µmg v2 = µgr v = (µgr) 1/2

  6. Calculate the maximum speed a car can go through a 50 m curve with rubber tires on dry asphalt.

  7. Solution: Fc = mv2/r Ff = µ Fn and Fn = mg Therefore: mv2/r = µmg v2 = µgr v = (µgr) 1/2 v = ((.85)(9.81m/s2)(50m))1/2 v = 20.14 m/s
