Two cars are traveling on level terrain at 60 mi/h on a road with a coefficient of adhesion of 0.8. The driver of car 1 has a 2.5-s perception/reaction time and the driver of car 2 has a 2.1-s perception/reaction time. Both cars are traveling side by side and the drivers are able to stop their respective cars in the same distance after first seeing a roadway obstacle (perception and reaction plus vehicle stopping distance). If the braking efficiency of...

A curve of radius 20 m is banked so that a 1100 kg car traveling at 30 km/h can round it even if the road is so icy that the coefficient of static friction is approximately zero. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Find the minimum speed at which a car can travel around this curve without skidding if the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires is 0.3. Answer in units of m/s.
