Centripetal Force and Acceleration Questions
For all questions, assume coefficient of friction of 0.670
1. A vehicle of mass 2500 kg approaches a turn of radius 25m.
a. Determine the fastest speed possible to take this turn if the turn is flat.
b. Determine the fastest speed possible to take this turn without friction, if the turn is banked at
15 degrees.
c. Determine the fastest speed possible to take this turn with friction, and banked at 15 degrees.
2. A vehicle of mass 1000kg attempts to turn on a banked turn, of angle 31 degrees, while traveling at a
speed of 30 m/s. Determine the largest, and the smallest, turn radius the vehicle can achieve without
slipping?
