A car of mass m drives around a "banked curve" of radius r where the road surface is inclined at an angle of θ. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs. Express your answers in terms of r, θ, μs and g. (a) a) Calculate the "ideal" speed for the car to drive so that it doesn't tend to slide up or down the incline. b) Calculate the minimum speed the car can drive without sliding down the incline. c) Calculate the maximum speed the car can drive without sliding up the incline.

Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 220 m and bank angle θ, where the coefficient of static friction between tires and pavement is μs. A car (without negative lift) is driven around the curve as shown in the figure below. Find an expression for the car speed vmax that puts the car on the verge of sliding out, in terms of R, θ, and μs. Evaluate vmax for a bank angle of θ = 11∘ and for (a) μs = 0.77 (dry pavement) and (b) μs = 0.047 (wet or icy pavement). (Now you can see why accidents occur in highway curves when icy conditions are not obvious to drivers, who tend to drive at normal speeds. ) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A racetrack curve has radius 120.0 m and is banked at an angle of 18⋅0∘. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the roadway is 0.300 . A race car with mass 900 kg rounds the curve with the minimum speed needed to not slide down the banking. Part A As the car rounds the curve, what is the normal force exerted on it by the road? Express your answer with the appropriate units. n = Part B What is the car's speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. v =
