The coefficient of static friction for the tires of a race car is 0.950 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.800. The car is on a level circular track of 50.0 m radius on a planet where g=2.45 m s2 compared to Earth’s g =9.80 ms2. The maximum safe speed on the track on the planet is ____ times as large as the maximum safe speed on Earth.
a.) 0.25
b.) 0.50
c.) 1.00
d.) 2.00
e.) 4.00
Static and kinetic friction?
0.950x m g1 =m v1 ^2 / r
0.800x m g2= m v 2^2 /r
.
divide:
0.950g1/0.800 g2 = v1^2 /v2^2
0.950x2.45 /0.800x9.8 = (v1/v2)^2
1/4 = (v1/v2)^2
1/2 = v1 /v2
v2 =2 v1 .........d.)2
