7) In a parking lot, a driver is learning how to negotiate a turn and driving in circle. She is now driving at 10 m/s while making a circle. While keeping at this speed, she is trying to make the circle as small as possible without skidding. What is the radius of the smallest circle possibly? The coefficient of friction is Us= 0.75 between the tire and the road surface.

A two-turn circular wire loop of radius 0.737 m lies in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.591 T. If the entire wire is reshaped from a twoturn circle to a one-turn circle in 0.116 s (while remaining in the same plane), what is the magnitude of the average induced emf E in the wire during this time? Use Faraday’s law in the form E = − ∆(N Φ) ∆t . Answer in units of V.

A curve of radius 30 m is banked so that a 950-kg car traveling at 25 miles per hour can round it even if the road is so icy that the coefficient of static friction is approximately zero. You are commissioned to tell the local police the range of speeds at which a car can travel around this curve without skidding. Neglect the effects of air drag and rolling friction. If the coefficient of static friction between the snowy road...
