Questions and Answers

On a banked road, what primarily provides the centripetal force necessary for a car to move in a circular path?

  • The horizontal component of the normal force. (correct)
  • The frictional force acting parallel to the road.
  • The normal force's vertical component.
  • The car's weight acting vertically downwards.
  • Which equation represents the balance of vertical forces acting on a car on a banked road?

  • N sin θ + f cos θ = mv²/R
  • N sin θ + f sin θ = mv²/R
  • N cos θ = mg - f sin θ
  • N cos θ = mg + f sin θ (correct)
  • What forces contribute to the horizontal force in the equation: N sin θ + f cos θ = mv²/R?

  • The car's weight only.
  • Weight and normal force.
  • The horizontal components of normal and frictional forces. (correct)
  • Only the frictional force.
  • In the case of a level road, what is the main difference in the force equation compared to a banked road?
