A 1250 kg car is traveling around a banked curve at a speed


a 1250 kg car is traveling around a banked curve at a speed of 23.5 m/s. the curve is banked 24 degrees to the horizontal. the car does no depend on the force of friction to keep it on track. ignore air resistance.

a) draw a free body diagram for the car, including all forces acting on it. clearly label and name each force.

b) which force components, if any, are balanced?

c) which force components, if any, are unbalanced?

d) use your results from part c to derive an expression for the radius of the curve that depends on the speed of the car, the gravitational acceleration (g), and the angle that the curve is banked.

e) what is the radius of the curve? please show clear and simple steps and formulas, thanks!!!
