You are driving on a circular ramp of radius 72.0 m on an icy January day. The ice-covered ramp is banked at a 23.0° angle, and you anticipate that the ramp is not going to provide any significant friction to help keep your car on the road. (a) What must your speed be so that your car does not slide off the road? (b) What are the direction and magnitude of the net force acting on you at that point? Your mass is 72.0 kg

A velodrome has an aggressively banked curve, where the surface makes an angle of 58.9 degrees with the horizontal. If you are biking around this curve (such that your path traces a horizontal circle with radius 21.7 m as you go around the turn), and the coefficient of static friction of your bike tires with the velodrome surface is 0.617, what is the minimum speed that you can go before starting to slip down the ramp? Give your answer in km/hr.

An owner of a speedboat loves high speed but doesn't want to go anywhere. So he tethers the speedboat to a fixed buoy by a strong cable of length 40.0 m40.0 m, which supplies all the centripetal force to run the boat in circles around the buoy. When the tension in the cable is steady at 13500 N13500 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Assume that the mass of the speedboat (including the driver) is 645 kg645 kg. Take the water's drag force to be (450 kg/m)×v2(450 kg/m)×v2, where vv denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable. Be sure to include the free-body diagram for the boat.

Because the Earth rotates about its axis, a point on the equator experiences a centripetal acceleration of 0.033 7 m/s2, whereas a point at the poles experiences no centripetal acceleration. If a person at the equator has a mass of 75.0 kg, calculate (a) the gravitational force (true weight) on the person and (b) the normal force (apparent weight) on the person. (c) Which force is greater? Assume the Earth is a uniform sphere and take g = 9.800 m/s2.
A small block with mass 0.0400 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius R = 0.500 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point A, the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.95 N.
