If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the curve (a real problem on icy mountain roads). (a) Calculate the ideal speed to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15.0o. (b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed for a frightened dri

a) The ideal speed = 16.21 m/s

b) Minimum co-efficient of friction = 0.216

Explanation:

From the given information:

The ideal speed can be determined by considering the centrifugal force component and the gravity component.

= 16.21 m/s

(b)

Let assume that it requires 25 km/h to take the same curve.

Then, using the equilibrium conditions;

does anyone know or what?

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .
