A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 15 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-fifth of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car? m/s
A car coasts at a constant speed over a circular hill. Which of the free-body diagrams given is correct? Explain.
A) A merry-go-round at a children's park begins at rest and is pushed by a parent while a child holds onto the ride at the outer edge, 3.10 m from the center. The parent pushes with a constant force for 2.74 s until the child is moving with a speed of 11.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net acceleration on the child the instant before the parent stops pushing the merry-go-round? (Give your answer to at least one decimal place.)
