At critical velocity we can observe that the centripetal force is equal to the frictional force offered by the tires of the car
ie., m*v^(2)/r = μmg
where, m = mass of the car, v = maximum velocity of the car before it slides off the circular path, μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the tires, g = Acceleration due to gravity & r = radius of the circular path traced by the car.
v=(μ*r*g)^(0.5)
therefore v = 14 (m/s) is the max velocity any car or truck or anything massive or minuscule can achieve before slipping out of the circular path for the given coefficient of friction between the road and the tires and the radius of the circular path.

A particle moves in a straight line such that the displacement x at any time 't' is given by
x = 6t^2 - t^3 - 3t - 4.
x is in meter and t is in seconds.
Calculate the maximum velocity of the particle in m/s?

There is a circular car race track of 10km. There are two cars, Car A and Car B. And they are at the exact opposite end to each other. At Time T(0), Both cars move toward each other at a constant speed of 100 m/seconds. As we know both cars are at the same speed they will always be the exact opposite to each other.
Note, at the center, there is a bug which starts flying towards Car A at time T(0). When the bug reaches car B, it turns back and starts moving towards the car A. The speed of bug is 1m/second. After 5 hours all three stop moving.
What is the total distance covered by the bug?

In a car race, car A takes 4 seconds less than car B at the finish and passes the finishing point with a velocity v more than the car B.
Assuming that the cars start from rest and travel with constant accelerations a1 = 4 ms^-2 and a2 = 1 ms^-2 respectively.
Find the velocity v in m/s.
