A car traveling in a horizontal circle on a frictionless banked track.
A car traveling in a horizontal circle on a frictionless banked track.
A car of mass \(m\) travels at a constant speed \(v\) in a horizontal circle of radius \(R\) along a track banked at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. Friction between the tires and the track is negligible. Which of the following correctly describes the magnitude of the normal force \(F_N\) exerted by the track on the car and provides a correct physical justification?
