QUESTION:
Friction is needed for a car rounding a curve. But, if the road is banked, friction may not be required at all. What, then, supplies the needed centripetal force? (Hint: Consider vector components of the normal force on the car.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
On a banked road the normal force, at right angles to the road surface, has a horizontal component that provides the centripetal force.
