Question
You travel in a car of mass m and are about to make a curve on a track as shown
in the attached figure, to reach your destination. When cornering, care must be
taken so that the car does not skid and lose control of the vehicle. We assume
friction between the vehicle's tires and the pavement.
R-
What are some factors that could harm you and prevent you from cornering in a
good way?
a) 1. Slow down when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is smaller.
3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement.
b) 1. Increase the speed when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is
greater. 3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement.
c) 1. Increase speed when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is
smaller. 3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement.
d) 1. Increase the speed when turning the curve. 2. That the radius of the curve is
smaller. 3. Less friction of the vehicle's tires with the pavement. 4. Smaller
magnitude of the normal force.
