If you drive fast enough over the crest of a hill your car becomes momentarily airborne. One particular hill can be approximated by part of a vertical circle with a radius of 200 m. How fast should you drive over this hill to just barely lose contact with the road as you crest it?
Homework Answers
At the top of the crest of the hill, weight of the car will be acting downwards and centripetal force will be acting upwards.
Let 
be the velocity of the car when the car barely lose contact with
the road.
When the car barely lose contact with the road, the centripetal force will be equal to the weight of the car

A car travels down a straight country road that leads over hills and through valleys. On one particular stretch of road, the car encounters a hill that can be approximated as the top of a circle with a radius rh = 105 m. Later, the car comes to a dip with a radius of curvature rd = 75 m. Assume that the car maintains a constant speed of v = 23 m/s as it goes over the hill and through...

You are traveling on a hilly road. At a particular spot, when your car is perfectly horizontal, the road follows a circular arc of some unknown radius. Your speedometer reads 90.0 km/h, and your apparent weight is 30% larger than usual. Use g-9.80 m/s2 for this problem. (a) Are you at the bottom of a hill or the top of a hill at that instant? the bottom of a hill the top of a hill There's not enough information to...

Dr. C. #2. (PHYS 121 engineering design exercise) You have seen why cars inherently accelerate quicker in a straight line and have better fuel mileage than an SUV with the same engine; it's because of air drag and the smaller frontal area and better drag coefficient of the car. Now let's think about why cars handle (take turns, change lanes and make other quick maneuvers) better than an SUV. We'l1 simplify our analysis by considering a vehicle of mass M...
