What is the maximum speed with which a 1200-kg kg car can round a turn of radius 93.0m on a flat road if the coefficient of static friction between tires and road is 0.45?

The idea here is to: * Write an equation for the centripetal acceleration, using v squared / r. * Calculate the corresponding centripetal force, using Newton's Second Law (multiply the previous point by the mass). * Write an equation for the force of friction. * Equate the two forces, and solve.


How to find maximum centripetal acceleration?

That depends on the situation, on the problem you are trying to solve. If speed is constant, maximal centripetal acceleration occurs where the radius of curvature is smallest - for example, in the case of a parabola, at its vertex. If the radius of curvature is constant, maximum centripetal acceleration occurs when the speed is greatest (for an object reacting to gravity, that might be at the bottom of a circular path). In other cases, you have to get a general expression for the centripetal acceleration, and maximize it (using methods of calculus).

If the maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 126.8 N what is the maximum tangential speed the ball can have?

Not enough information. If the ball moves in a circle, you would also need the radius of the circle, and the mass of the ball.In this case, you can: 1) Calculate the corresponding centripetal acceleration, by using Newton's Second Law (a = F/m). 2) Calculate the tangential speed, using the formula for centripetal acceleration: acceleration = velocity squared / radius.

How do you Determine the mass of a planet?

You can determine the mass of any planet by astronomically determining the planet's orbital radius and period. Then calculate the required centripetal force and equate this force to the force predicted by the law of universal gravitation using the sun's mass

What is the centripetal force of a half kilogram ball that moves in a circle 0.4 m in radius at a 4 meter per second speed?

You solve this in two steps. First, you calculate the centripetal acceleration, using the formula a = v2/r. (Another commonly used formula is omega2 times r, but the first formula is easier to use in this case.) Second, you use newton's second law: force = mass x acceleration.


What is the similarities of centrifugal and centripetal force?

Centripetal Force is more directed towards the center of the axis of rotation of an object following an elliptical or circular path. Centrifugal Force is the force that pulls away from the center because of the objects inertia. Example: If you took a rock, tied it to a string, and swung it around, the force from the center of the axis of rotation is centripetal force. The force that causes the rock to pull away from the center, is centrifugal force. If you have ever been in a fast moving car that sharply turns and you feel as if you are pulled to the side, that too is centrifugal force caused by your inertia. The more mass the more inertia. this answer is very good ============================== But largely erroneous. "Centrifugal" force doesn't exist. It's a make-believe, made-up thing, that's not really there. When the centripetal force suddenly shuts off, the object proceeds in a straight line, in the direction it was going at the instant when the centripetal force stopped, and naturally, the straight line takes it straight away from what used to be the center of its motion. We see the object take off straight away from the former center, and we say "Gee, there must be a force pulling it away from there." But there isn't any. That "force" that you think you feel when the car turns a corner and you get pressed against the door, away from the curve ? That's just the tendency of your body to want to keep moving in a straight line, and its reaction to the centripetal force that the car-seat and the door are exerting on you in order to make your body move in a curved path. There is no "centrifugal" force.


Does the gravitational attraction of the sun on the planets act as a centripetal or as a centrifugal force explain?

By definition, a centripetal force is a force towards a central point, exerted on an object following a curved path. It causes an object to follow a curved path, such as an orbit; this is what the gravitational force of the sun does to planets. So it is clearly a centripetal force. A centrifugal force is defined as a force that is exerted away from a center around which an object either rotates or revolves. Literally, in terms of etymology, centrifugal means fleeing the center. Planets orbit the sun because of a balance of centripetal and centrifugal forces. If there were only an attractive force pulling a planet toward the sun, the planet would fall into the sun. And if there were only a centrifugal force pulling planets away from the sun, the planets would fly out of the solar system and into interstellar space. But since these two forces are balanced, planets remain in orbit around the sun. An object on which the forces are balanced travels in a straight line at constant speed. The planets do not travel in straight lines or at constant speeds, because the forces on them are not balanced. The only force on a planet is the centripetal force of gravitational attraction between it and the sun. That single force produces all of the orbits we observe, whether elliptical (repeating) or hyperbolic (not repeating). Those orbits are fairly easy to derive using Newton's formula for gravitational force and direction, plus some geometry and some calculus. Non-furious comments: I avoid writing "centrifugal force", by writing "centrifugal effect". I think that's more or less OK, depending on your "audience". Technically "centrifugal force" is called a "fictitious force". It is actually correct to use it in a rotating frame of reference. Unfortunately, it is often used incorrectly, even by educators. Luckily, the answer to the question was "centripetal force". <<>> The physical processes are that there is a force of gravity pulling the Sun and Earth towards each other. The force acts equally both ways, producing an acceleration in both objects, towards each other, following Netwon's second law: force equals mass times acceleration. The Sun's much greater mass means that its acceleration is small, while the Earth's acceleration towards the Sun keeps it in its elliptical orbit. That is what's happening, so for those who can't remember the difference between centrifugal and centripetal, don't worry, they are not terms used by astronomers.


Does camber help the wheels stay in a straight ahead position?

No, it lowers the amount of turning that is required to achive the same curve, and increases the maximum speed that can be safely held through it; it reduces the effect of centrifugal force outwards, by using gravity to add further centripetal force to friction with the road. Caster helps the wheels stay straight.
