Centripetal Force
Banked Tracked 

 

 

BankedTurnFc 

 

Draw the Weight Components 

 

Banked2 

 

 

Draw AND LABEL the normal force

 

Hint: ∑Fy =  ?

Banked3 

 

 

a) Find Fn Components

b) Label the Fc 

 

bank4 

Express the weight mg of the car in terms of the normal force Fn and q

mg = Fncosq

 

Express the m, v and r in terms of Fn and q

Fc = mv2/r = Fnsinq    

 

Combine the 2 previous equations into one                 

Fc = [v2]/gr = tanq    

Rewrite an equation if the road has friction
