07:31Ideal banking angle car rounds a banked turn without friction, frictionless banked curveZak's Lab284
Multiple ChoiceA bobsled turn banked at 78° is taken at 24 m/s. Assume it is ideally banked and there is no friction between the ice and the bobsled. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the bobsled.50531Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionA 1125-kg car and a 2250-kg pickup truck approach a curve on a highway that has a radius of 225 m. (a) At what angle should the highway engineer bank this curve so that vehicles traveling at 65.0 mi/h can safely round it regardless of the condition of their tires? Should the heavy truck go slower than the lighter car?1117Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionAn airplane feels a lift force L perpendicular to its wings. In level flight, the lift force points straight up and is equal in magnitude to the gravitational force on the plane. When an airplane turns, it banks by tilting its wings, as seen from behind, by an angle from horizontal. This causes the lift to have a radial component, similar to a car on a banked curve. If the lift had constant magnitude, the vertical component of L would now be smaller than the gravitational force, and the plane would lose altitude while turning. However, you can assume that the pilot uses small adjustments to the plane's control surfaces so that the vertical component of L continues to balance the gravitational force throughout the turn. a. Find an expression for the banking angle θ needed to turn in a circle of radius r while flying at constant speed v.177Has a video solution.
