4. If a cyclist moving with a speed of 4.9 m/s on a level road can take a sharp circular turn of radius 4 m, then coefficient of friction between the cycle tyres and road is
a) 0.41
b) 0.51

5. A car moves on a circular road. It describes equal angles about the centre in equal intervals of time. Which of the following statement about the velocity of the car is true
a) Magnitude of velocity is not constant
b) Both magnitude and direction of velocity change
c) Velocity is directed towards the centre of the circle
d) Magnitude of velocity is constant but direction changes

Answer: d
Explanation: As body covers equal angle in equal time intervals. its angular velocity and hence magnitude of linear velocity is constant
