A car is moving on a horizontal curved road with radius 50 m . The approximate maximum speed of car will be, if friction between tyres and road is 0 . 34 . [Take g = 10 m s - 2 ]
Options
- A3 . 4   m   s - 1
- B22 . 4   m   s - 1
- C13   m   s - 1
- D17   m   s - 1
Correct answer
C. 13   m   s - 1
Step-by-step solution
For a car moving with uniform speed along a circular track, the centripetal acceleration is provided by the frictional force acting radially inwards. Therefore, applying Newton's second law along radial direction, μ m g = m v 2 r ⇒ v = μ r g       = 0 . 34 × 50 × 10 ≈ 13   m   s - 1
