The Daytona 500 stock car race is held on a track that is approximately 2.5 miles long, and the turns are banked at an angle of 31 degrees. It is currently possible for the cars to travel through the turns at a speed of 172 miles per hour. Assuming these cars are on the verge of slipping into the outer wall of the racetrack, find the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the track (assume the track is circular)

The Daytona 500 stock car race is held on a track that is approximately 2.5 mi long, and the turns are banked at an angle of 31°. It is currently possible for cars to travel through the turns at a speed of about 164 mi/h. Assuming these cars are on the verge of slipping into the outer wall of the racetrack, find the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the track. (Assume that the track is circular.)

A race car drives at a speed of 20.0m/s around a circular track banked inwards at an angle of 20.0o from the horizontal. The track is icy, so there is no appreciable friction of the tires on the track. Determine the radius of the track. Submit your answer in the following form: • List all the physical forces acting on the object. Which one of them supplies a centripetal component? • Give your numerical answer for the radius of the...

An 800-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn with coefficient of static friction between the track and the car's tires of 0.02. The turn has a radius of curvature of 150 m. Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force of 10 000 N on the car. Calculate the maximum speed without slipping.

A 890-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum speed of 43 m/s without slipping. The turn has a radius of 150 m. Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force (called the downforce) of 12000 N on the car. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the car's tires? (b) What would be the maximum speed if no downforce acted on the car?

4. A designer plans to build a circular Indy 500 racetrack with a bank angle of 12 degrees and it must keep cars moving at 150 miles per hour (242 km per hour) from sliding off the track even when the track is slick. a) Draw a diagram showing all forces acting on a racecar as it rounds the track. Neglect friction. b) Choose an x-y coordinate system and write the components of the forces. Why is the choice of...

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...
