A lunar rover with a mass of 420kg is driving on the moon and turns a corner with a radius of 44m and has coefficient static friction of ɱs = 0.67, what is the greatest speed the car can have in the corner without skidding? (acceleration of gravity on the moon = 1.62 m/s^2)???

Sagot :

The greatest speed the car can have in the corner without skidding is 6.91 m/s.

Maximum speed of car in a curved road

The maximum speed of car in a curved road is determined using the following formulas;

v(max) = √(μrg)

where;

  • μ is coefficient of friction
  • r is radius
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v(max) = √(0.67 x 44 x 1.62)

v(max) = 6.91 m/s

Thus, the greatest speed the car can have in the corner without skidding is 6.91 m/s.
