A car travels with constant speed on a circular road on level ground. In the figure shown, `F_(air)` is the force of air resistance on the car. Which of the other forces best represent the horizontal force of the road on the car's tires ?

A

`F_(A)`

B

`F_(B)`

C

`F_(C)`

D

`F_(D)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

    When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway , most of the power developed by the engain is used to compensate on the car by the air and the road, friction forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. If the power developed by an engine is 175 hp , estimate the total friction force (apporox) acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 25 m//s . One horsepower equals 746 W .
