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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The wavelength of the wave is inversely proportional to the mass of the moving object `(lamda = h//mv)`. As car has large mass, wavelength associated with it is negligible.

A father and son pushed their car to bring it to the side of road as it had stalled in the middle of the road. They experienced that although they had to push with all their might initially to move the car, the push required to keep the car rolling was smaller, once the car started rolling. Explain.

    Consider a car moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed of 72 km/h. If the coefficient of static friction between road and tyres is 0.5, the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is

    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 :
