Question: A) A car is driving too fast on a flat non-banked curve. The car cannot stay on the road. What path will the car take as it leaves the road? See Image. (a) (b) B) The driver wants to go faster around the same curve mentioned above and not run off the road. He adds sandbags to his car to make it weigh more so that the friction force between the tires and the road will be increased. Will this work? Explain your answer.​

Explanation:

(a) The car will leave tangentially to the road, so it will take path d.

(b) Sum of forces on the car in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of forces on the car in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

Nμ = m v²/r

mgμ = m v²/r

gμ = v²/r

v = √(grμ)

The maximum velocity is independent of mass, so adding sandbags will not work.
