Answer #1

The given problem based upon the concept of uniform circular motion.In uniform circular motion speed is constant and velocity is variable.velocity changes due to the change in direction of motion of an object at each and every point.centripetal acceleration is responsible for the change in direction of motion of the wheel and its magnitude can be calculated as shown in the page 1&2.

Centripetal Acceleration: A car moving with a constant speed of 80 km/h enters a circular, flat curve with a radius of curvature of 0.50 km.  If the friction between the road and the car’s tires can support a centripetal acceleration of 1.20 m/s2, without slipping, does the car navigate the curve safely, or does it fly off the road? Perform calculations to justify your answer. Be sure to perform all the necessary dimensional conversions to mks units.
