    Acceleration on a curve for a car

    Thanks fatra2, The main purpose for me doing this calculation is to get maximum tangential acceleration of the car, since the car is not traveling on the curve with constant speed. For that, I need to calculate first the maximum side force Fs (the speed and radius is not given). So I use this...

    Acceleration on a curve for a car

    Thanks LowlyPion. So, what I understand from the link u gave me, the friction force should be act towards the centre of the circle and the side force towards outside? In other words, friction = centripetal and side force = centrifugal ("effective") force?

    Acceleration on a curve for a car

    Homework Statement As we know, if a car accelerate on curve at certain speed, it will tilt outside the circle track. So i sketch this 2 picture to show how (for me) it works. http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2323/66057246.jpg http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9272/96495741.jpg I just...

    Acceleration on a curve [kinematics]

    Hi guys, I have similar problem with boogaaaa. As we know, if a car accelerate on curve at certain speed, it will tilt outside the circle track. So i sketch this 2 picture to show how it works. http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2323/66057246.jpg...
