Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsLaws of Motion
A bike of length having its centre of mass at the middle is to turn with constant speed v [here v is the speed of centre of mass of the bike]. To turn, the front wheel is rotated by an angle . The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is . Assuming the bike to be vertical and it does not skid, answer the following questions. The radius of curvature of the centre of mass of the bike is
Options
- A(A) 4+ ^2
- B2+ ^2
- C2 4+ ^2
- D2 2+ ^2
Correct answer
C. 2 4+ ^2
Step-by-step solution
If the bike does not slip, path of both the wheel must be parallel with its direction as shown in the figure. aligned & R ₁= / & R _ cm = ( 2 )^2+ R ₁^2 = 2 4+ ^2 & Net friction force f = mv ^2 R _ cm = 2 ~m v^2 4+ ^2 aligned
