Lightning McQueen rounds a curve of radius 80 m which is banked so that cars traveling at 100 km/hr (27.8 m/s) can safely take the curve even in the absence of friction. The coefficient of static friction between Lightning McQueen’s tires and the road is 0.72. a) Draw a FBD of Lightning McQueen as he rounds the curve, assuming he does so without slipping. b) At what angle is the curve banked? c) What is the maximum speed with which Lightning McQueen can take the curve without skidding?
