    Banking corners Problem regarding assignment

    i need to work out how banking a corner can help to increase road safety, using circular motion, friction etc... i have a car traveling at 60 km/h with a mass of 1000kg, the speed is allowed to vary but the mass must stay the same...

    Banking corners Problem regarding assignment

    im not sure what you mean, however the squares used to be a theta symbol if that's what you mean they just didnt convert into the forum.

    Banking corners Problem regarding assignment

    hey guys I am having trouble with a banking problem i keep getting a sin theta value of 2 therefore i can't find the angle required, any ideas where I am going wrong, below is a copy of my formulas Fnet = (MV^2) / R Fnet = (1000*16.67^2) / 10 Fnet = 27788.89 N Fc = Mac Ac = V^2 /...

    Kinetic Energy Lost in Crumple Zones

    id say 0, I am assuming all of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the wall, is that possible or does the car have to continue moving ?

    Kinetic Energy Lost in Crumple Zones

    how do i work out the cars kenetic energy after the impact if its only hitting a wall, do i make an assumption about its mass after the impact or am i able to work it out and is the mass after the impact even necessary

    Kinetic Energy Lost in Crumple Zones

    Hi guys, i am working on a problem involving crumple zones, and i was wondering which formula would be best suited to discover the amount of energy lost due to heat and sound, during a collision between a car and a wall

    How Do You Calculate Force on a Car Impacting a Tree at 60km/h?

    Hello everyone, Im new to this forum so I am not entirely sure how it works, I have a physics assignment in which i must analyse kinematics, impulse and momentum, friction, energy and circular motion, I am currently working on a car design and i was wondering if anyone could tell me the...
