Question

In this module, you will look for an article or news story/video that relates to one or more of the following topics:

static friction

kinetic friction

drag

centripetal force

By the end of the third day of the module, create a thread with a 250-word post including one or more of the topics listed above, an active hyperlink to your resource (this resource cannot be used by another student), a summary of the resource itself, a summary of the material you are learning in this module as it relates to your resource, and an explanation of how the topic or resource ties to your everyday life.

Please provide an article, how it relates to one of these topics, and a short explanation of one of these topics. IF THERE IS NO ARTICLE OR NO SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION I WILL NOT THUMBS UP. Correct answer will be liked promptly.

Explanation / Answer

This is a link to wikipedia article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banked_turn
the article is on banked turns
and it goes as under
"A banked turn (or banking turn) is a turn or change of direction in which the vehicle banks or inclines, usually towards the inside of the turn. For a road or railroad this is usually due to the roadbed having a transverse down-slope towards the inside of the curve. The bank angle is the angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its longitudinal axis with respect to the horizontal."

Now, a fast moving object moves on a curved track, its maximum speed is limited by radius of curvature of the track and the static friction provided by the track. if this friction is not there then there will be no force to hold the fast moving on the road and it would simply just skid off

also,the force acting at the center of the circle of which the arc in which the car is movcing, is the centripital force and is in this provided by the friciton ( static) and the banking odf the track
