The maximum speed at which a car can safely negotiate a frictionless banked curve depends on all of the following except?
diameter of the curve
What is a curve that is higher on the outside than it is on the inside called?
A banked curve.
What design of curve would help hold each car on the roadway?
A banked curve.
Which force is responsible for holding a car in an unbanked curve?
Static friction
What is The safest type of road for entering a curve?
Banked road.
Why doesnt a train tip over when on curves?
1. The track is banked to allow for this tendency. Just like the race track for the Idi-500 is banked. 2. There is a speed limit set for the curve.
What is the highest banked curve in NASCAR?
31 degrees in the corners, 18 degrees at the start/finish line.
Banked curve figure?
The curves generally run across the hill to control water flow and erosion
Why should you slow down when driving through a curve?
The speed of the racing cars get increased by a driver,, because it is always applied that all curves in racing roads are banked to provide appropriate centripetal force,,and through this there's maximum speed which shouldn't exceed during turning on the corner!!
A highway curve of radius is banked at angle Coefficient of F static between the road surface and the tires of sports car is mu s constant speed of the sports car round the curve for min tire wear?
Nope. It's to help the centripetal force so you won't swirl out. It's in the physics of the thing. . . . Don't quite completely understand it myself.
What does the French word 'devers' mean?
The word 'dévers' is a masculine singular noun. It means banking, be it of rails or of roads. A relevant warning sign to the motorist is 'virage en dévers', which means a dangerous 'banked curve' up ahead.
Why are the roads banked?
Newton stated that a body will continue in a straight line unless acted on by an external force. To go round a corner, the wheels are turned, and the friction of the tyres provides a centripetal force which persuades the car to abandon its straight line and go round the corner. This happens whether the road is banked or not. However, this force on the tyre does not act through the centre of mass of the vehicle. In physical terms, this is a rotational force as far as the car is concerned, and the practical effect is that the car tends to lean outward in the turn, to the extent that the inner tyres may leave the road. If the road is banked in the curve, the effect of gravity tends to make the car rotate into the centre of the curve, opposing the outward rotation. This makes the car feel more stable, as there is less outward rotational tendency. (This is why motorcyclists have to lean over in curves.)
