Aflat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 170.0 m. a car rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0 m> s. (a) what is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding? (b) suppose that the highway is icy and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third of what you found in part (a). what should be the maximum speed of the car so that it can round the curve safely?

When a vehicle is moving on rough unbanked road then the centripetal force on the vehicle is provided by friction force to take a safe turn

now we can write

$F_f = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$\mu m g = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$v^2 = \mu R g$

here

v = 25 m/s

R = 170 m/s

now we can find the friction coefficient by above equation

$25^2 = \mu * 170 * 9.8$

$\mu = 0.375$

so minimum friction coefficient needed is 0.375

Part b)

now again if we have friction coefficient is half of this what we calculated above

then we can find the safe speed by same equation

$\mu = \frac{0.375}{2} = 0.1875$

v^2 = 0.1875* 170 * 9.8

v = 17.67 m/s

so here maximum safe speed is 17.67 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of the curve, r = 170 m

Speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

(a) Let $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding. The centripetal force is balanced by the force of static friction as :

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg$

$\mu=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

$\mu=\dfrac{(25)^2}{170\times 9.8}$

$\mu=0.375$

(b) Let v' is the maximum speed of the car so that it can round the curve safely if the coefficient of static friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third of what you found in part (a).

It is calculated as :

$v'=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3}\mu rg}$

$v'=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 0.375\times 170\times 9.8}$

v' = 14.43 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
