A car moves with a constant tangential acc. A(t)=2/3 m/s2 along a horizontal surface  circumscribing a circle of radius r = 40 m. The coefficient of sliding friction between the wheels of car and the surface is us = 0.20 . What distance will the car ride without sliding if at the initial moment  of time its velocity is equal to zero? Take g = 10  m/s2

Sorry for late reply.Is the answer 3.749 m?If it is not, then can you please post the solution?

Sorry........................not correct.........!

 

answer is 40(2)1/2

 

Have one more try .................

because it can be done by 2 methods,both of which give same answer.......but only one is correct.........

GOOD LUCK!

Yes .Lokesh, the answer I am getting is 40(2)1/2.I just want to discuss the method with you.Friction will act against the resultant force.From this we will get the safe limit for speed(v). v=a(T) t.t can be calculated.Distance moved by the car=1/2 a(T)t^2.Is this how you have done?
