^ foad an(J sixteen cars j n a row will reach half a block. This is probably
a new idea to most of us- if we kept it in mind, we would never pass a car
unless we were sure that there were no oncoming cars for a good long
distance ahead.
But aside to pass is not the particular kind of turning that we
are interested in discussing here. What we are now
concerned with is taking curves and corners. From
time to time in these discussions we will find that
the same old laws of Nature will be involved. Fore
most among them will be the laws of momentum, and
momentum plays the major part in going around
curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep
ug goingj t, ut going in the same direction. When it is
trying to make us go straight instead of curving our
course, it operates under an assumed name, if you
please. For then we call it “centrifugal force. ’
Now-of.course we all know what.centrifugal force
is. . We feel it when we go around curves. Highways
and railroads are banked at curves to offset centrifu
ga i force. Aviators bank their planes at turns by tip-
ping them with the controls. But even we about centrifugal
force, few of us realize how powerful it is, and how much greater it gets the

A 3000-pound car making a turn of 500-foot radius, has to overcome a

an hour, that force has grown to 360 pounds, and at
60 it is nine times as great as at 20 . . over fourteen
hundred pounds trying its best to push us off the
road! The only thing that keeps us on the road in the
first place is the friction between our tires and the
road. The minute the centrifugal force gets stronger
than the force of that friction, off the road we go.
The trouble is that we often don’t realize how fast
we’re going. On road trips, for instance, after we
have driven at a certain speed for a long time, it
seems a small matter to increase our speed a few
miles an hour. Then after a while we may do the
same thing again. In other words, we keep putting
forward our basis of comparison till by-and-by we
have lost our usual sense of how fast we are going.
Then, the first thing we know, we are face-to-face
with a turn or even half way around it and we feel Old Man Centrifugal
Force trying to push us off the road.
So what do we do? We clamp down the brakes. It’s the only thing we
can do when we find we’re going too fast. But just the same, approaching
that corner too fast has kept us from taking it as we should have liked to.
For if conditions permit, it is often desirable to increase speed as we go
around a curve. As long as our rear wheels are not being retarded, but are
actually pushing us around the curve, our steering is effective and our car
is under control. '
The long and short of it is that we can’t take liberties with the laws of
momentum and centrifugal force. Man’s speed laws may not always ba
observed, but Nature’s speed laws always arel

over in the road to pass a car, and then
wondered if we would get around in time
Now heres an interesting thing about
that. When we try to pass a car that’s
going forty miles an hour, it’s just the
same as if we tried to pass a standing
string of cars 126 feet long. In other words, i
it’s like passing eight cars parked bumper- j
to-bumper m the road. If we try to pass
one going sixty, it’s like trying to pass a ,
