A car of mass m follows a truck of mass 2m around a circular turn. Both vehicles move at speed v. HINT (a)What is the ratio of the truck's net centripetal force to the car's net centripetal force? Ftruck Fcar = (b)At what new speed Vtruck will the net centripetal force acting on the truck equal the net centripetal force acting on the car still moving at the original speed ?
