Explanation / Answer

here,

diameter , d = 0.95 km = 950 m

radius , r = d/2 = 475 m

speed , v = 27.5 m/s

a)

the magnitude of accelration of the car , ac = v^2 /r

b)

the magnitude of accelration of the car , ac = v^2 /r

ac = 27.5^2 /475 = 1.59 m/s^2

c)

let the minimum coefficient of friction be uk

equating the forces

uk * m * g - m * v^2 /r = 0

uk = v^2 /( r * g)

d)

the minimum coefficient of friction , uk = 27.5^2 /( 475 * 9.81)

uk = 0.16
