A car is rounding a tight curve on a winding road. If the radius of curvature of this curve is 10.0 m and the average coefficient of static friction between the road and normally inflated tires μs = 0.80, which of the following should be the posted maximum speed for a car to go around the curve for a dry day in the US, where we use mi/hr instead of km/hr? (1 mi = 1.6 km)

Why is the following situation impossible? Your 3.80-kg physics book is placed next to you on the horizontal seat of your car. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the seat is 0.650, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.550. You are traveling forward at 72.0 km/h and brake to a stop with constant acceleration over a distance of 30.0 m. Your physics book remains on the seat rather than sliding forward onto the floor.
Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.

What is the maximum speed at which the car can travel around this curve without sliding? Group of answer choices 24.8 m/s 33.1 m/s 29.6 m/s 37.9 m/s 45.0 m/s None of the above choices are correct

Is it safe to drive your 1600-kg car at speed 27 m/s around a level highway curve of radius 150 m if the effective coefficient of static friction between the car and the road is 0.40?

A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 210.0 m . A car rounds the curve at a speed of 28.0 m/s . a. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding? b.
Car A uses tires for which the coefficient of static friction is 0.217 on a particular unbanked curve. The maximum speed at which the car can negotiate this curve is 12.3 m/s. Car B uses tires for which the coefficient of static frictionis 0.767 on the same curve. What is themaximum speed at which car B can negotiate the curve?
You are exiting a highway and need to slow down on the off-ramp in order to make the curve. It is rainy and the coefficient of static friction between your tires and the road is only 0.6. If the radius of the off-ramp curve is 24 m, then to what speed do you need to slow down the car in order to make the curve without sliding? (answer in m/s)
A car is driving along a circular track with diameter d = 0.59km at a constant speed of v = 21.2 m/s. Write an expression and find the value for the minimum coefficient of friction between the cars tires and road required in order to keep the car going in a circle in terms of the given parameters.
A carnival ride has people stand inside a vertical cylinder with theirbacks to the wall. The cylinder starts spinning counterclockwise and theriders find that they are “stuck” to the wall and don’t slide down, evenwhen the floor is removed.The ride has a radius of r.
