1
Centrifugal force, banked corners, and gravity in space
2
Centrifugal vs. Centripetal
Centripetal - toward the center. Demo - float in jar - linear and centripetal accel Centrifugal - away from the center Things sliding to outside of car on corner (accel forward, thrown back, accel middle, thrown outside) Merry-go-round Mud off bike tire Water from salad in salad spinner Sunglasses out the window and the F word. (Perceived force - not real)
3
= tan-1(v2/rg) Banked Corners
The Force of the road - perp to surface Points in and up tan() = ((mv2/r)/(mg)) = tan-1(v2/rg) mg - to hold it up mv2/r - to make it go around the corner

The on ramp from onto I-5 from Nyberg is 40. m in radius maybe
The on ramp from onto I-5 from Nyberg is 40. m in radius maybe. What should be the bank angle to go 27 m/s around it? = tan-1(v2/rg), v = 27 m/s, r = 40. m, g = 9.8 = 62o W 62 degrees
6
One of the Terwilliger curves has a radius of 270 m
One of the Terwilliger curves has a radius of 270 m. What is the bank angle for cars to go 29 m/s around it = tan-1(v2/rg), v = 29 m/s, r = 270. m, g = 9.8 = 18o W 18 degrees
7
What about 112. m/s (250 mph) around it? What does the angle approach?
The on ramp from onto I-5 from Nyberg is 40. m in radius maybe. What should be the bank angle to go 45. m/s (101 mph) around it? What about 112. m/s (250 mph) around it? What does the angle approach? = tan-1(v2/rg), v = 45 m/s or v = 112 m/s, r = 40. m, g = 9.8 = 79o, = 88o W 79 degrees and 88 degrees

Humans need gravity Calculate tangential v if r m Show the centrifuge
