A racetrack curve has radius 70.0 m and is banked at an angle of 12.0 ∘. The coefficient of static friction between the tires an
d the roadway is 0.400. A race car with mass 1200 kg rounds the curve with the maximum speed to avoid skidding. consider friction when solving for a, b, and c.
a) As the car rounds the curve, what is the normal force exerted on it by the road?
b) What is the car's radial acceleration?
c) What is the car's speed?
d) In the case of a banked curve with friction, which of the following forces contribute to the centripetal (inward) acceleration: the frictional force, the normal force, and/or the gravity? and why?
