The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum speed of a car on a curved road, we can use the relationship between the frictional force and the centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces**: - The car experiences a centripetal force that is required to keep it moving in a circular path. This force is provided by the friction between the tires and the road. - The centripetal force \( F_c \) is given by the formula: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] - The frictional force \( F_f \) that prevents the car from slipping is given by: \[ F_f = \mu mg \] where \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. **Set the Forces Equal**: - For the maximum speed before slipping occurs, the frictional force will equal the centripetal force: \[ \mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] 3. **Cancel Mass**: - Since the mass \( m \) appears on both sides of the equation, we can cancel it out: \[ \mu g = \frac{v^2}{r} \] 4. **Rearrange for Speed**: - Rearranging the equation to solve for \( v^2 \): \[ v^2 = \mu g r \] 5. **Substitute Known Values**: - Now, substitute the known values into the equation. Given: - \( \mu = 0.4 \) - \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - \( r = 30 \, \text{m} \) - Substitute these values into the equation: \[ v^2 = 0.4 \times 9.8 \times 30 \] 6. **Calculate**: - First, calculate \( 0.4 \times 9.8 \): \[ 0.4 \times 9.8 = 3.92 \] - Then, multiply by \( 30 \): \[ 3.92 \times 30 = 117.6 \] - Therefore: \[ v^2 = 117.6 \] 7. **Find the Square Root**: - Finally, take the square root to find \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{117.6} \approx 10.84 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum speed of the car on the curved road is approximately \( 10.84 \, \text{m/s} \). ---
