Engineers who design roads typically “bank” (incline) curves in such a way that a car traveling at the recommended speed does not have to rely on friction between its tires and the road in order to round the curve. Suppose the radius of curvature of a road segment is 55 m, and the recommended speed is 45 km/hr. At what angle should the curve be banked?
Starting from a standstill, a windmill-style softball pitcher executed a pitch in 0.6 s. If her pitching arm is 0.75 m long and the tangential ball speed is 25 m/s, what is the magnitude of the total acceleration on the ball at this point?
Even though an object can have a constant tangential speed, the acceleration of an object in circular motion can NEVER be ____________________.
A. zero
B. less than the value of the speed
C. equal to the value of the centripetal force.
