Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 331

Question: The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.25.The maximum speed with which a car can be driven round a curve of radius 40 m without skidding is (assume $ g=10ms^{2} $ )

[Kerala (Med.) 2002]

Options:

A) $ 40ms^{1} $ B)$ 20ms^{1} $ C) $ 15ms^{1} $ D)$ 10ms^{1} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.25\times 40\times 10}=10,m/s $
