Q1 A car is moving with speed 30 m/s on a circular
path of radius 500 m. Its speed is increased at
the rate of 2 m/sec2. What is acceleration of
the car?
(A) 2 m/sec2 (B) 2.7 m/sec2
(C) 1.8 m/sec2 (D) 9.8 m/sec2
Q2 A turn of radius 20 m is banked for the vehicles
going at a speed of 36 km/h. If the coefficient
of static friction between the road and the tyre
is 0.4, what are the possible speeds of a vehicle
so that it neither slips down nor skids up?
Q3 Find the maximum speed at which a car can
turn round a curve of 30 m radius on a level
road if the coefficient of friction between the
tyres and the road is 0.4 [acceleration due to
gravity 10 m/s2]
Q4 A particle starts moving in a non-uniform
circular motion, has angular acceleration as
shown in figure. The angular velocity at the end
of 4 radian is given by w rad/s then find the
value of w.

friction between the tyres and the road is 0.1.
Will the cyclist slip while taking the turn?
Q6 A motor cyclist moving with a velocity of 72
km/hr on a flat road takes a turn on the road at
a point where the radius of curvature of the
road is 20 meters. The acceleration due to
gravity is 10 m/sec2. In order to avoid skidding,
he must not bend with respect to the vertical
plane by an angle greater then

turn if the coefficient of static friction is 0.75, is

(C) 21 m/s (D) 7 m/s
Q8 When the road is dry and the coefficient of
friction is m, the maximum speed of a car in a
circular path is 10 m/s, if the road becomes wet
and m' = m/2. What is the maximum speed
permitted?
(A) 5 m/s (B) 10 m/s
