a small car with mass m and speed 2v and a large car with mass 2m and speed v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. if the frictional force required to keep the small car on the road without skidding is f, then the frictional force required to keep the large car on the road without skidding is

Respuesta :

Answer:

f/2

Explanation:

In this case the force that is necessary to keep the object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation, centripetal force = f

f= m × centripetal acceleration

centripetal acceleration = V^2/r

Therefore f = m (2v)^2 /r --------1

If frictional force required to keep the large car on the road = F

F= 2m (v)^2/ r----------2

Now Divide 1st equation by 2nd one

f/F = m (2v)^2/2m(v)^2

f/F = 2

F= f/2
