Find the maximum velocity for the overturn of a car moving on a circular track of radius 100 m. The co-efficient of friction between the road and tyre is 0.2

  • A.0.14 m/s
  • B.140 m/s
  • C.1.4 km/s
  • D.14 m/s

Answer: D

The maximum speed is 14 m/s.

On an unbanked track the friction supplies the centripetal force: \[\frac{mv^2}{r} \le \mu mg \Rightarrow v_{max} = \sqrt{\mu r g}\]

\[v_{max} = \sqrt{0.2 \times 100 \times 9.8} = \sqrt{196} = 14\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}\]
