Answer:
c)the gravitational forces of people is so small it is overshadowed by that of earth.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects
From the formula, we see that the gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects: since the mass of the Earth ( is much much larger than the average mass of one person (80-100 kg), then the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on a person is also much much larger than the gravitational force between two people.

Answer:
v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]
Explanation:
The free body diagram for the car is presented in the attached image to this answer.
The forces acting on the car include the weight of the car, the normal reaction of the plane on the car, the frictional force on the car and the net force on the car which is the centripetal force on the car keeping it in circular motion without slipping.
Resolving the weight into the axis parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane,
N = mg cos θ
And the component parallel to the inclined plane that slides the body down the plane at rest = mg sin θ
Frictional force = Fr = μN = μmg cos θ
Centripetal force responsible for keeping the car in circular motion = (mv²/R)
So, a force balance in the plane parallel to the inclined plane shows that
Centripetal force = (mg sin θ - Fr) (since the car slides down the plane at rest, (mg sin θ) is greater than the frictional force)
(mv²/R) = (mg sin θ - μmg cos θ)
v² = R(g sin θ - μg cos θ)
v² = gR (sin θ - μcos θ)
v = √[gR (sin θ - μcos θ)]
Hope this Helps!!!
