An automobile with a tangential speed of 54.1 km/h follows a circular road that has a radius of 41.6 m. The automobile has a mass of 1260 kg. The pavement is wet and oily, so the coefficient of kinetic friction between the car's tires and the pavement is only 0.500.

1) Available force of friction: 6174 N

2) No

Explanation:

1)

The magnitude of the frictional force between the car's tires and the pavement of the road is given by

where

is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the car

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the car in this problem, we have:

(coefficient of friction)

m = 1260 kg (mass of the car)

Therefore, the force of friction is

2)

In order to mantain the car in circular motion, the force of friction must be at least equal to the centripetal force.

The centripetal force is given by

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the tangential speed

r is the radius of the curve

In this problem, we have

m = 1260 kg

is the tangential speed

r = 41.6 m is the radius of the curve

Therefore, the centripetal force is

Therefore, the force of friction is not enough to keep the car in the curve, since

all of the answers are correct.

falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record. plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.

explanation:

convex lenses are thicker at the middle. rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). a convex lens is a converging lens. when parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.
