- The 1.5Mg 4-wheel drive jeep is used to push two identical packages, each weighing 500Kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.6, determine the fastest possible speed that the jeep can reach in 5s, without the tires spinning. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the packages and the ground is 0.3.arrow_forwardCircular turns of radius r in a race track are often banked at an angle θ to allow the cars to achieve higher speeds around the turns. Assume friction is not present, and use the coordinate system specified. Part (a) Find the y-component of the normal force FN on a car going around the turn in terms of the angle θ and the magnitude of the normal vector FN. Part (b) Find the x-component of the normal force FN on a car going around the turn in terms of the angle θ and the magnitude of the normal vector FN. Part (c) Now write the magnitude of the normal force in terms of the force of gravity Fg and the angle θ. Part (d) Now write the magnitude of the normal force again, this time in terms of the gravitational force Fg, g, θ, the radius of the track r, and the velocity that the car is traveling at v. Part (e) Now assume that the car is moving at 15 m/s and the radius of the track is 410 m. What is the angle θ in degrees?arrow_forwardA fluid‑like substance called synovial fluid lubricates the surfaces where bones meet in joints, making the coefficient of static friction between bones very small. For simplicity, assume the surfaces in the knee are flat and horizontal. Why is the minimum force required for initiating movement of bones in a typical knee joint different for different people, in spite of the fact that their joints have the same coefficient of static friction?arrow_forward
