5. When a car moves on a curved track, the car experiences force are?
Answers
Answer:
Solution:
Applying Newton's laws in horizontal and vertical directions. we get
Nsinθ=
r
mv
2
... (I) and Ncosθ=mg ... (II)
from these two equations, we get
tanθ=
rg
v
2
v=
rgtanθ
This is the speed at which the car doesn't slide down even if there is no
friction. Since the car is in horizontal and vertical equilibrium. So the option 'A' is wrong.
If the car's speed is less then the banking speed then It will slip down to reduce the r.
If the car turns at correct speed of 40 m/s. Then the force by the road on the car is given by
N=
rsinθ
mv
2
=
cosθ
mg
....(III) [from (I) and (II)]
By looking at equation (III). we can say that, the force by the road on
the carN is equal to
rsinθ
mv
2
, not
r
mv
2
,
Since θ<

π
;
⇒sinθ<1&cosθ<1
⇒
sinθ
