A certain light truck can go around a curve having a radius of 119 m with a maximum speed of 30 m/s. To have the same acceleration, at what maximum speed can it go around a curve having a radius of 59.5 m

Respuesta :

Answer:

The maximum speed is 21.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curve = 119 m

Maximum speed = 30 m/s

New radius = 59.5 m

We need to calculate the maximum acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

[tex]a_{c}=\dfrac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

Where, v = maximum speed

r = radius

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

[tex]a_{c}=\dfrac{30^2}{119}[/tex]

[tex]a_{c}=7.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the maximum speed

Using formula of speed

[tex]v_{max}=\sqrt{a\times r}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v_{max}=\sqrt{7.5\times59.5}[/tex]

[tex]v_{max}=21.1\ m/s[/tex]

Hence, The maximum speed is 21.1 m/s
