a 1000kg car is picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 150 m. When the car reaches 30 m/s the driver notices that the car begins to skid sideways. What is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road?

A car is traveling down a hill that makes a 20 degree angle withthe horizontal. The driver applies her brakes, and the wheels lockso that the car begins to skid. The coefficient of kinetic frictionbetween the tires and the road is Uk=0.45.
a) Find the acceleration of the car?
b) How long does the car take to skid to a stop if its initialspeed is 30 mi/hr. (14 m/s)?

When you take your 1200-kg car out for a spin, you go around acorner of radius 54 m with a speed of 16 m/s. The coefficient ofstatic friction between the car and the road is 0.88.

Assuming your car doesn't skid, what is the force exerted on it bystatic friction?

A curve of radius 60m is banked so that a 980 kg car traveling at 60 km/h can round it even if the road is so icy that the coefficient of static friction is approximately zero. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Find the maximum speed at which a car can travel around this curve without skidding if the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires is 0.3. Answer in units of m/s.
