Questions and Answers

What is the bank angle in a banked turn?

  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its lateral axis with respect to the horizontal
  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its vertical axis with respect to the horizontal
  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its transverse axis with respect to the horizontal
  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its longitudinal axis with respect to the horizontal (correct)
  • What keeps a vehicle turning on a flat surface when the bank angle is zero?

  • Inertia
  • Centripetal force
  • Gravity
  • Friction or traction (correct)
  • What is the expression for the relationship between friction, mass, velocity, and radius in a banked turn?

  • $rac{ ext{friction force}}{ ext{mass}} = rac{v^2}{r}$
  • $rac{ ext{friction force}}{ ext{mass}} + rac{v^2}{r}$
  • $rac{ ext{friction force}}{ ext{mass}} > rac{v^2}{r}$ (correct)
  • $rac{ ext{friction force}}{ ext{mass}} < rac{v^2}{r}$
