A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 19 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 87 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is us= 0.68 . 1)What is the maximum speed,  he can travel through the arc without slipping?  2)He speeds up very slightly and begins to slide. The coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.13. What is the new magnitude,  of his radial acceleration?

Question

A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 19 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 87 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is us= 0.68 .

1)What is the maximum speed,  he can travel through the arc without slipping? 

2)He speeds up very slightly and begins to slide. The coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.13. What is the new magnitude,  of his radial acceleration?
