Q128 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (04 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

A car moves on a horizontal circular road of the radius, 16 m with the increasing speed at a constant rate of 3 m s-2. If the coefficient of friction between the road and tyre is 0.5, then the minimum speed at which the car will skid is (assume g=10 m s-2

  • A
    5 m s-1
  • B
    10 m s-1
  • C
    16 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    D
    8 m s-1

Solution

The formula of minimum speed at which the car will skid, in terms of the radius of the road, coefficient of friction between tyre's and road, acceleration of the car, and acceleration due to gravity, 
v=μ2g2-a2R214, it means, 
⇒v=0.52102-3216214=8 m s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
