What causes the car to accelerate when it goes around the curve?
What causes the car to accelerate when it goes around the curve?
Explanation: An acceleration is necessary for an object to change direction. The car experiences a centripetal force as it turns the corner as a result of friction. This in turn causes a centripetal acceleration, which causes the direction of the velocity to change.
Is going around a curve accelerating?
And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity. For this reason, it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating.
What is the maximum speed the car can travel around the curve without slipping?
The maximum velocity for the car is about 12 m/s.
Does a car going around a curve at a constant speed of 40 mph experience acceleration?
No, the velocity of the car is continuously changing direction while on the curve so there is acceleration. Yes, a non-zero net force is required for the car to maintain a constant speed with no acceleration as it goes around the curve.
Is it possible to go around a curve with zero acceleration?
It is not possible to round a curve with zero acceleration because to change the direction of the velocity vector, acceleration must act on the object. However, with constant acceleration, this can be possible, as it happens in uniform circular motion.
At what maximum speed can the car navigate the curve?
25 m/s
The maximum speed at which the car can negotiate this curve is 25 m/s. Car B uses tires for which the coefficient of static friction is 0.85 on the same curve.
Why did Ford change the timing of the distributor?
Some Fords, particularly in the 70’s and early 80’s, had distributors where timing was fixed due to emissions reasons. When it comes to timing the most common myth is that adjusting the timing simply means moving the distributor clockwise or counterclockwise.
What happens when you rotate the distributor housing on a Ford?
Rotating the distributor housing clockwise on a Ford advances the timing (i.e. spark is being fired a greater number of degrees before the piston reaches TDC), and counterclockwise decreases the timing.
