The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the maximum speed with which a racing car can go around a circular track, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Mass of the car, \( m = 10^2 \, \text{kg} = 100 \, \text{kg} \) - Radius of the circular track, \( r = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) (convert to meters) - Maximum thrust (which acts as the maximum centripetal force), \( F_{\text{max}} = 10^5 \, \text{N} \) 2. **Understand the Relationship Between Thrust and Centripetal Force:** - The maximum thrust that the track can withstand is equal to the centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a circular path. The formula for centripetal force is given by: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] - Here, \( F_c \) is the centripetal force, \( m \) is the mass of the car, \( v \) is the velocity of the car, and \( r \) is the radius of the circular path. 3. **Set the Maximum Thrust Equal to the Centripetal Force:** - Since the maximum thrust is equal to the centripetal force, we can write: \[ F_{\text{max}} = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 10^5 = \frac{100 \cdot v^2}{0.1} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation to Solve for \( v^2 \):** - Multiply both sides by \( 0.1 \): \[ 10^5 \cdot 0.1 = 100 \cdot v^2 \] \[ 10^4 = 100 \cdot v^2 \] - Now, divide both sides by \( 100 \): \[ v^2 = \frac{10^4}{100} = 10^2 \] 5. **Taking the Square Root to Find \( v \):** - Finally, take the square root of both sides to find \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{10^2} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum speed with which the car can go around the track is \( 10 \, \text{m/s} \).
