on a rainy day the coefficient of friction between a car's tires and a certain level road surface is reduced to half its usual value. the maximum safe speed for rounding the curve is



Answer :

The Maximum safest speed to travel at when navigating a curve is 71% of the normal speed.

What impact does rain have on friction coefficient?

In comparison to friction on a dry road, the friction coefficient of tyres sliding at 60 km/h on roads will rise during times of heavy rain and reduce on a wet road after a period of rainfall.

How does friction change on a wet surface?

Water can change the amount of friction between two surfaces. Rubber tyres and paved roads have less friction when there is water present. Drivers must therefore take extra precautions to avoid sliding on slick roads. Water can make contact between your fingers and a plastic sheet more abrasive.
