AIPMT MAINS 2012 Physics Circular Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A car of mass m is moving on a level circular track of radius R. If μₛ represents the static friction between the road and tyres of the car, the maximum speed of the car in circular motion is given by :

A

√μₛmRg

B

√Rg/μₛ

C

√mRg/μₛ

D

√μₛRg

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The maximum speed is determined by the equation v = √μₛRg, derived from the balance of centripetal force and frictional force.
