The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum speed of the car so that it may go over the turn without slipping, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Mass of the car (m) = 2000 kg (not directly needed for this calculation) - Radius of the turn (R) = 750 m - Angle of slope (θ) = 5 degrees - Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.5 - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² ### Step 2: Calculate the forces acting on the car When the car is going around the turn, the forces acting on it include: - The gravitational force acting downwards (mg). - The normal force (N) acting perpendicular to the road surface. - The frictional force (f) that provides the centripetal force required for circular motion. ### Step 3: Resolve the forces The normal force can be calculated using the angle of slope: - The component of gravitational force acting perpendicular to the slope: \( N = mg \cos(θ) \) - The component of gravitational force acting parallel to the slope: \( mg \sin(θ) \) ### Step 4: Calculate the maximum frictional force The maximum frictional force can be calculated as: - \( f_{max} = μN = μ(mg \cos(θ)) \) ### Step 5: Set up the equation for centripetal force The centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a circle is given by: - \( f_{centripetal} = \frac{mv^2}{R} \) For the car to go around the turn without slipping, the maximum frictional force must equal the centripetal force: - \( f_{max} = \frac{mv^2}{R} \) ### Step 6: Substitute the values into the equation Substituting the expression for frictional force into the centripetal force equation: - \( μ(mg \cos(θ)) = \frac{mv^2}{R} \) ### Step 7: Simplify the equation Canceling the mass (m) from both sides: - \( μg \cos(θ) = \frac{v^2}{R} \) Rearranging gives: - \( v^2 = μg \cos(θ) R \) ### Step 8: Calculate the maximum speed Now substituting the known values into the equation: - \( v^2 = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times \cos(5°) \times 750 \) Calculating \( \cos(5°) \): - \( \cos(5°) \approx 0.9962 \) Now substituting this value: - \( v^2 = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.9962 \times 750 \) - \( v^2 = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times 0.9962 \times 750 \approx 3656.85 \) Taking the square root to find v: - \( v \approx \sqrt{3656.85} \approx 60.5 \, \text{m/s} \) ### Final Answer The maximum speed of the car so that it may go over the turn without slipping is approximately **60.5 m/s**. ---
