Question

A motorcycle is travelling on a curved track of radius 500m if the coefficient of friction between road and tyres is 0.5. The speed avoiding skidding will be

• A. 50 m/s
• B. 75 m/s
• C. 25 m/s
• D. 35 m/s

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

50 m/s

Answer 2

$v = \sqrt{\mu rg} = \sqrt{0.5 \times 500 \times 10} = 50m ⥂ / ⥂ s.$
