Question

What is expected to happen if one travels fast over a speed breaker? Why?

Answer 1

A car’s maximum speed on a convex arc of radius r is equal to `sqrt (r g)`, where g represents the acceleration due to gravity. A speed breaker has a modest radius (about 1 metre). As a result, passing a speed breaker necessitates a significant slowdown. Otherwise, the car will lose contact with the road and land with a crash.
