Question

A person is driving a vehicle at uniform speed of 5 m s^-1 on a level curved track of radius 5 m. The coefficient of static friction between tyres and road is 0.1 . Will the person slip while taking the turn with the same speed? Take g=10 m s^-2. Choose the correct statement.

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. (d) The person will not slip if v^2 _s Rg Here, _s=0.1 ,R=5 m ,g=10 m s^-2 ∴ _s Rg=0.1 5 m 10 m s^-2=5 m^2 s^-2 or v^2 5 m^2 s^-2 Therefore the person will slip if v^2>5 m^2 s^-2.

$A person is driving a vehicle at uniform speed of 5 m s^{- 1} on a level curved track of radius 5 m . The coefficient of static friction between tyres and road is 0.1 . Will the person slip while taking the turn with the same speed? Take g = 10 m s^{- 2} . Choose the correct statement.$
