8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation
Banked Curves
1PRACTICE PROBLEM
A 1000-kg van and a 2000-kg bus come closer to a circular track with a radius of 200 m.
(i) What should be the banking angle for this circular track so that automobiles traveling at 40.0 m/s can take a turn without toppling?
(ii) Should the bus move slower than the van?
