At what maximum speed can a car manage a turn on a wet, level road with coefficient of static friction 0.230 without sliding out of control? The radius of the turn is 25.0 m
Engineers who design roads typically “bank” (incline) curves in such a way that a car traveling at the recommended speed does not have to rely on friction between its tires and the road in order to round the curve. Suppose the radius of curvature of a road segment is 55 m, and the recommended speed is 45 km/hr. At what angle should the curve be banked?
A racetrack has the shape of an inverted cone, as the drawing shows. On this surface the cars race in circles that are parallel to the ground.

A car is driving along a circular track with diameter d = 0.59km at a constant speed of v = 21.2 m/s. Write an expression and find the value for the minimum coefficient of friction between the cars tires and road required in order to keep the car going in a circle in terms of the given parameters.
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.

Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, w, and g.
