We do not see a car moving as a wave on the road. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to de Broglie relation `: lambda=(h)/(mv)` i.e. `lambda prop (1)/(m)`. The mass of the car is very large and its wavelength `(lambda)` or wave character is negligible. Therefore, we do not see a car moving like a wave.

A car is moving with speed v and is taking a turn on a circular road of radius 10 m. The angle of banking is 37^(@) . The driver wants that car does not slip on the road. The coefficient of friction is 0.4 (g = 10 m//sec^(2)) If the car were moving on a flat road and distance between the front tyres is 2 m and the height of the centre of the mass of the car is 1m from the ground, then, the minimum velocity for which car topples is :
