You're designing a highway so that the maximum centripetal acceleration on a curve is no more than 1.0 m/s^2. What is the minimum curvature radius to accommodate a 100 km/h maximum speed?

A car rounds a curve of radius 30 m. If the maximum centripetal acceleration is 5m/s2, what is the maximum speed of the car in kilometers per hour?
A highway curve of radius 68.0 m is banked at 21.4 degree so that a car traveling at 26.4 m/s (95 km/hr) will utilize both banking and friction to keep it on the curve. Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road to keep the car on the road at this speed on this curve.
7. A highway curve with a radius of R metres is banked so that cars moving at v m/s around the curve do not have to rely on friction when taking the turn. IWPS 7. No.4] 7.1 Show (from first principles) that the angle, 6, at which, the road should be banked is given by: 0 arctan 7.2 A particular banked highway curve with a radius of 200 m is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. On a rainy...
9. When designing winding roads through the country-side, civil engineers need to take into consideration the maximum safe sideways acceleration (centripetal acceleration from friction) for rounding a turn is ac 1 m/s2. What is the minimum radius of the curve in the road if the maximum speed is 45 mph? (Ans: 404.7 m)
highway curves are often banked, so the normal force provides the centripetal force and cars don’t have to rely on friction. After having responded to an emergency call in the middle of a snowstorm, an ambulance is speeding back towards the hospital along a slippery curved road. Your job is to inform the ambulance driver of the maximum speed at which he can travel around this curve without slipping up the bank. You are told that the curve has a...
When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration Is greater than about 4 times g the pilot will usually lose consciousness ("black out"). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 800 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?
The radius of curvature of a highway exit is r = 49.5 m. The surface of the exit road is horizontal, not banked What is the minimum required value of the coefficient of static friction between the tires of the car and the surface of the road so that the car can safely exit the highway at a constant speed of 42.0 km/h without sliding?
A frictionless highway turn is circular with radius 36 metres is banked at an angle of 18°. What will be the maximum posted speed for the turn to the nearest km/h? You may assume the gravitational acceleration is equal to 9.8 m/s. Maximum Posted Speed v= km/h
1. Calculate the centripetal force on the end of a 100 m (radius) wind turbine blade that is rotating at 0.5 rev/s. Assume the mass is 4 kg. 2. Compute the ideal banking angle for a gentle turn of 1.00 km radius on a highway with a 110 km/h speed limit, assuming everyone travels at the limit?
On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around the curve is 7,500 Newtons. What speed limit should be posted for the curve so that cars can negotiate it safely? [Express the answer in m/s and mph] 17.322 m/s, 38.975 mph 16.956 m/s, 38.151 mph 16.956 m/s, 37.033 mph 16.459 m/s, 37.033 mph 16.956 m/s, 38.975 mph
