A car of mass m travels on a flat, circular track of radius r with a constant speed v. What is the centripetal force acting on the car?

Part B: What is the relationship between the centripetal force and the velocity of the car?

Part C: What is the relationship between the centripetal force and the radius of the circular track?

Part D: If the car's speed is doubled, how does the centripetal force change?

Part E: If the car's radius is halved, how does the centripetal force change?

Part F: Suppose the car travels on a banked circular track at an angle ? with respect to the horizontal. What is the relationship between the angle ?, the radius r, and the speed v at which the car must travel to avoid slipping?
