Question

If a car's tires will skid when the car experiences a centripetal acceleration greater than 0.60g, what is the maximum speed of the car in this roundabout?

Answer 1

`v=sqrt(5.886r)`

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration can be found using `a=v^2/r`, where `v` is the speed, and `r` is the radius of the circle.

By rearranging, we get `v=sqrt(ar)`, where `a=0.60g=0.60*9.81=5.886`, so `v=sqrt(5.886r)`
