A motorcycle of mass 100kg moves round in a circle of radius 10m with a velocity of 5 ms-1. find the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres.

A
25.00
B
2.50
C
0.50
D
0.25
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: D

F = (mv)2/r = (100 x 5)2 = 250N

R = mg = 100 x 10 - 1000N

coefficient of friction,

µ = (F)/R = (250)/1000 = 0.25
