Concept Simulation 5.2 reviews the concepts that are involved in this problem. A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 16 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a long wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one third of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

Answer:

[tex]v_W=9.23m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

The force of friction change is the pavement is dry or wet so to determine the force of friction:

[tex]F=m*a[/tex]

[tex]F_k=m*a_c[/tex]

[tex]F_k=u_K*N[/tex]

[tex]N=m*g[/tex]

[tex]F_k=u_K*m*g=m*a_c[/tex]

[tex]u_K*g=a_c[/tex]

[tex]a_c=\frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]

Dry pavement

[tex]u_{KD}*g=\frac{v_D^2}{R}[/tex]

Wet pavement

[tex]u_{KW}*g=\frac{v_W^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]u_{KW}=\frac{1}{3}*u_{KD}[/tex]

Solve and reduce the factor so:

[tex]\frac{v_W^2}{v_D^2}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}*u_{KD}}{u_{KD}}[/tex]

[tex]v_W^2=v_D^2*\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]v_W=v_D*\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=16m/s*\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]v_W=9.23m/s[/tex]
