Vehicle in Circular Motion#
Part 1#
A sedan of mass 1700.0 \(\rm{kg}\) in uniform circular motion accelerates towards the _________ of the circle due to the force of __________ friction between the sedanâs tires and the road. Please fill in the blanks with one of the options below (The choices are presented in the same order as they should appear in the sentence.)
Answer Section#
centre, kinetic
outside, static
centre, static
outside, kinetic
Part 2#

Please enter in a numeric value.
Part 6#
If the curve was banked toward the centre of the circle at an angle of 18.0\(^{\circ}\) as shown on the right of Fig. 2, draw a free body diagram for the forces acting on the sedan in the directions perpendicular to the direction of motion as the sedan moves around the circle at 87.0 \(\rm{km/h}\).
