A 600-kg car traveling at 24.5 m/s is going around a curve having a radius of 120 m that is banked at an angle of 20°. (a) Is the curve properly banked for the car's speed? (b) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction required between the road and the car's tires so the car does not skid?

An office door is given a sharp push and swings open against a pneumatic device that slows the door down and then reverses its motion. At the moment the door is open the widest, (a) does the doorknob have a centripetal acceleration? (b) Does it have a tangential acceleration?
If centripetal force is directed toward the center, why do you feel that you are ‘thrown’ away from the center as a car goes around a curve? Explain.
Check Your Understanding A car moving at 96.8 km/h travels around a circular curve of radius 182.9 m on a flat county road. What must be the minimum coefficient of static friction to keep the car from slipping?

An engineer must design a curved exit ramp for a highway in such a way that a car, exiting at the posted speed limit of 11.18 m/s (25 mi/hr), does not depend on friction to round the curve without skidding. The radius of the curve is 229.0 m. At what angle with respect to the horizontal must the curve be banked (in degrees)?
A highway curve with radius R = 274 m is to be banked so that a car traveling v = 25.0 m/s will not skid sideways even in the absence of friction. At what angle should the curve be banked? What are the components of each force along these axes?
