A Car Is Traveling on a Curve That Forms a Circular

Question 76

Multiple Choice

A car is traveling on a curve that forms a circular arc. The force F needed to keep the car from skidding is jointly proportional to the weight \text {W }
Of the car and the square of its speed s, and is inversely proportional to the radius r of the curve. A car weighing 2,500 lbs travels around a curve at 70 mi/h. The next car to round this curve weighs 4,900 lbs and requires the same force as the first car to keep from skidding. How fast is the second car traveling?
