a friction experiment is performed on a planet that has the same mass as Earth but half the radius. A 1.0-kg block is pulled along a horizontal dynamics track with a horizontal force of magnitude 15.0 N. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track is 0.3, determine the acceleration of the block.

An engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius r such that cars of mass m can go around the track at speed V without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, and g. Suppose the race cars actually round the track at a speed w>V. What additional radial force Fr is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed? Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, w, and g.
