Questions and Answers

What is the bank angle in a banked turn?

  • 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 vertical axis with respect to the lateral
  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its longitudinal axis with respect to the horizontal (correct)
  • The angle at which the vehicle is inclined about its lateral axis with respect to the vertical
  • What is the relationship between the centripetal force and friction in a banked turn?

  • Friction must be large enough to provide the centripetal force, expressed as $μmg > \frac{mv^2}{r}$ (correct)
  • Friction must be less than the centripetal force, expressed as $μmg < \frac{mv^2}{r}$
  • Friction is unrelated to the centripetal force in a banked turn
  • Friction is the only force providing the centripetal force in a banked turn
  • What happens if the bank angle is zero in a turn on flat surfaces?

  • The vehicle will tilt to the outside of the turn
  • The vehicle will skid off the path due to lack of centripetal force
  • The vehicle will experience a higher centripetal force
  • The surface is flat and the normal force is vertically upward, and the only force keeping the vehicle turning is friction (correct)
  • What is the force required to turn the vehicle in a banked turn?
