Concept Simulation 5.2 reviews the concepts that are involved in this problem. A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at
a speed of 19 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road

Question 6
A car is turning a curve of radius 24 m.
The curve is unbanked (flat), meaning
friction is providing all of the
centripetal force. Because of hazardous
road conditions, the coefficient of
static friction is reduced to only 0.31.
What is the maximum velocity at which
the car can travel around the curve?
Give your answer in m/s with at least
three significant figures.

- Consider dropping a baseball from rest at an altitude of 300 m. Assume that the baseball has a drag coefficient of 0.3, a mass of 0.145 kg, and a radius of 3.7 cm. a. What is the terminal speed vT of this baseball? b. Calculate the characteristic time tT = vT / |g|. c. Set up the Newton application to model this situation. Let's agree that the ball has essentially reached its terminal velocity when its acceleration falls below |g| / 20. About how long must the baseball fall to reach terminal velocity according to this criterion? Express your answer as a multiple of the characteristic time tT. (Hints: Equation N9.17 might be helpful as you set up the program. A time step of 0.1 seconds works pretty well.) Equation N9.17: az = -|g| * (1 - (vz2 / vT2))arrow_forward22.
