AP Physics 1
2.9 Circular Motion
2.7 Kinetic and Static Friction
2.5 Newton’s Second Law

On dry pavement, the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is \(\mu_{\text{dry}} = 0.80\), while on wet pavement, it is reduced to \(\mu_{\text{wet}} = 0.20\).
What is the ratio \(\dfrac{v_{\text{dry}}}{v_{\text{wet}}}\) of the maximum speed the car can round the turn on dry pavement to that on wet pavement?
