Question

If it was raining and there were multiple cars on the road how do you get out of a speeding ticket using physics and/or math?

Does centripetal force, gravity, perception of reality play a role?

With the speedometer (radar gun)…

-how accurate is it?

-Are there any limitations such as size distance, environment?

-Does the rain affect anything (wave radar?)?

-Calibration and adjustment.

Extra info: In the picture, the outer left lane endàmerge.

Highway (Speed 60) Bridge above highway Got pulled over under bridge Speed 45 mph. -Left two lanes merge onto highway * Police Ofmcer Freeway (speed 60)

Explanation / Answer

1) Centripetal force plays a role as there is semi circle in the route, this will come into picture, gravity also plays a role on the banking angle. The driver can go upto 60 in the circle but radar will read as 45 as linear velocity and he can continue the same on the bridge.

2) Speedometer measures linear speed, Radar gun measures angular speed.

Angular speed is much lesser than the linear speed.

3) Limitations are there as it is raining, we cannot accelarate fast and decelarate fast as less friction slows down both phenomenan. Wheels will tend to roll more.

4) Heavy rain will affect the range of radar , but doesnt affect efficiency of radar
