Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Acceleration
Not what you're looking for?
A car with a constant speed of 83.0 km/h enters a circular flat curve with a radius of curvature of 0.400 km. If the friction between the road and the car's tires can supply a centripetal acceleration of 1.25 m/s^2, does the car negotiate the curve safely? Justify the answer.
