Your go karts have a mass of 450kg and travel around a circular curve on a flat, horizontal track at a radius of 42 m. b) The maximum frictional force between the tyres and the road is equal to 20% of the weight of the car and driver. Calculate the coefficient of friction when an adult of mass 70kg is driving the kart. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE 0.02 (2DP) c) Calculate maximum angular velocity at which the car can travel round the curve at a constant radius of 42 m
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
