TopicCircular Motion 1

4 A cyclist in a road race is travelling around a bend on a horizontal circular path of radius 15 metres and is prevented from skidding by a frictional force. The frictional force has a maximum value of 500 newtons. The total mass of the cyclist and his cycle is 75 kg
Assume that the cyclist travels at a constant speed.
4
  1. Work out the greatest speed, in \(\mathrm { km } \mathrm { h } ^ { - 1 }\), at which the cyclist can travel around the bend.
    4
  2. With reference to the surface of the road, describe one limitation of the model.
    \(5 \quad\) A ball is thrown vertically upwards with speed \(u\) so that at time \(t\) its displacement \(s\) is given by the formula $$s = u t - \frac { g t ^ { 2 } } { 2 }$$ Use dimensional analysis to show that this formula is dimensionally consistent.
    Fully justify your answer.
