A motorcycle is travelling on a curved track of radius 500 m. If the coefficient of friction between road and tyres is 0.5, the speed avoiding skidding will be

A

50 m/s

B

75m/s

C

25m/s

D

35m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`mumg=(mv^(2))/(r)`
`v=sqrt(mugr)=sqrt(0.5xx10xx500)=50 m//s`
