Banked Road — No SlipHardQuestion 30644
Question
A vehicle goes around a banked curve (θ = 37°, r = 40 m, g = 10). The ideal speed (no friction needed) is:
- A17.3 m/sCorrect
- B20 m/s
- C14.4 m/s
- D24 m/s
Correct answer
17.3 m/s
Explanation
v = √(rg tanθ) = √(40×10×tan37°) = √(400×0.75) = √300 ≈ 17.3 m/s.
