Problem

6.

The path followed by a motorcycle round a circular racetrack is modelled as a horizontal circle of radius 50 m50\,\mathrm{m}. The track is banked at an angle θ\theta to the horizontal, where sin⁡θ=35\sin\theta=\dfrac35. The motorcycle travels round the track at constant speed.

The motorcycle is modelled as a particle and air resistance can be ignored.

In an initial model it is assumed that there is no sideways friction between the motorcycle tyres and the track.

Using this model,

(a) find the speed, in m s−1\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}, of the motorcycle.

(5)

In a refined model it is assumed that there is sideways friction.

The coefficient of friction between the motorcycle tyres and the track is 14\dfrac14

It is still assumed that air resistance can be ignored and that the motorcycle is modelled as a particle.

The motorcycle’s path is unchanged.

Using this model,

(b) find the maximum speed, in m s−1\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}, at which the motorcycle can travel without slipping sideways.

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

向心加速度沿水平方向。将支持力分解成竖直和水平分量,再相除消去支持力;它不等于 mgcos⁡θmg\cos\theta。

答题过程

展开

Since sin⁡θ=3/5\sin\theta=3/5 and θ\theta is acute,

cos⁡θ=45,tan⁡θ=34.\cos\theta=\frac45,\qquad \tan\theta=\frac34.

Let mm be the mass and RR the normal reaction. With no sideways friction, vertical resolution and horizontal radial motion give

Rcos⁡θ=mg,Rsin⁡θ=mv250.R\cos\theta=mg,\qquad R\sin\theta=\frac{mv^2}{50}.

Dividing,

v250g=tan⁡θ=34,v2=75g2=367.5.\frac{v^2}{50g}=\tan\theta=\frac34, \qquad v^2=\frac{75g}{2}=367.5.

Thus

v=19.2 m s−1(3 s.f.).\boxed{v=19.2\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}\quad\text{(3 s.f.)}.}

解法二

思路

展开

沿斜面方向分解可以直接消去支持力,但水平向心加速度在这个方向也有分量,不能误写成沿斜面平衡。

答题过程

展开

Resolve down the bank, towards the inner edge of the track. The normal reaction has no component in this direction, while the horizontal inward acceleration has component (v2/50)cos⁡θ(v^2/50)\cos\theta. Hence

mgsin⁡θ=mv250cos⁡θ.mg\sin\theta=m\frac{v^2}{50}\cos\theta.

Therefore

v2=50gtan⁡θ=50(9.8)34=367.5,v^2=50g\tan\theta=50(9.8)\frac34=367.5,

and

v=19.2 m s−1(3 s.f.).\boxed{v=19.2\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}\quad\text{(3 s.f.)}.}

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

最大速率时,车有沿坡向上侧滑的趋势,所以摩擦沿坡向下,并达到极限值。这里的支持力与第(a)问不同,必须重新设未知量。

答题过程

展开

At the maximum speed VV, friction acts down the bank. Let the new normal reaction be SS, and let the limiting friction be FF. Then

F=μS=S4.F=\mu S=\frac S4.

There is no vertical acceleration, so

Scos⁡θ−Fsin⁡θ=mg.S\cos\theta-F\sin\theta=mg.

The horizontal resultant acts towards the centre:

Ssin⁡θ+Fcos⁡θ=mV250.S\sin\theta+F\cos\theta=\frac{mV^2}{50}.

Substitute sin⁡θ=3/5\sin\theta=3/5, cos⁡θ=4/5\cos\theta=4/5 and F=S/4F=S/4:

S(45−320)=mg⟹S=20mg13,S\left(\frac45-\frac3{20}\right)=mg \quad\Longrightarrow\quad S=\frac{20mg}{13}, S(35+15)=mV250.S\left(\frac35+\frac15\right)=\frac{mV^2}{50}.

Thus

mV250=4520mg13=16mg13,V2=800g13.\frac{mV^2}{50}=\frac45\frac{20mg}{13}=\frac{16mg}{13}, \qquad V^2=\frac{800g}{13}.

Consequently,

V=800(9.8)13=24.6 m s−1(3 s.f.).\boxed{V=\sqrt{\frac{800(9.8)}{13}}=24.6\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}\quad\text{(3 s.f.)}.}
