Is it safe to drive your 1600-kg car at a speed 27 m/s around a level highway curve of radius 150 m if the effective coefficient of static friction between teh car and the road is 0.40? Use the method outlined below in bold to solve the problem: (Please show all work/explanations)
Visual Representation: Sketch the Situation described in the problem
Physical Situation: Write in words any assumptions made regarding objects and interactions
Physical Representation: Indicate the direction of acceleration
Physical Representation: Draw a free-body diagram of the system. Check for consistency w/the physical situation including direction of and summation of force
Math Representation: Apply Newton's Second Law in radial form. Check for consistency with your physical representation as well as the physical situation
Solve adn Evaluate: Determine the speed of the car for the conditions given. Decide if your answer is reasonable

Problem A car travels at a constant speed of 29.5 mi/h (13.2 m/s) on a level circular turn of radius 46.0 m, as shown in the bird's-eye view in Figure 7.13a. What minimum coefficient of static friction, Aus, between the tires and the roadway will allow the car to make the circular turn without sliding? Strategy In the car's free-body diagram (Fig. 7.13b) the normal direction is vertical and the tangential direction is into the page (step 2). Use Newton's...
Your friend John intends to drive your 1000-kg car at a speed of 25 m/s around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. You know that the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is .350. Will John be able to drive your car around the 100 m radius? Explain you answer.
Full Solution Problem for Chapter 06 (FS06)-Using Generalized Momentum-Impulse equation driving 20 m/s when it sees a deer (at rest in the road). The driver of the car hits the brakes, but it's too late- he hits the deer. The deer sticks to the car (sorry, deerl) and they skid forward as the car br has a mass of 500 kg and the deer has a mass between the car's tires and the road is 0.&. (Friction is much smaller...
