The passengers in car are thrown outward...

The passengers in car are thrown outwards when the car negotiates a curve, but the cyclist bends inwards, while negotiating the same curve. This happens due to

A

the car is heavier than the cycle

B

the cycle moves slower than the car

C

the car moves faster than the cycle

D

cyclist counteracts the centrifugal force,which throws the passengers in the car outwards

A car moves at speed of 36 km hr^-1 on a level road. The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.8 . The car negotiates a curve of radius R. IF g=10 ms^-2 , then the car will skid (or slip) while negotiating the curve if the value R is

A train has just completed a U-curve in a track which is a semicircle. The engine is at the forward end of the semi-circular part of the track while the last carriage is at the rear end of the semi-circular track. The driver blows a whistle of frequency 200 Hz. Velocity of sound is 340 m//s . Then the apparent frequency as observed by a passenger in the middle of a train when the speed of the train is 30 m//s is
