1A) A car turning in a circle is acceleratring in the centripetal direction, even if the speed is constant. This centripetal acceleration is the cause of a radially inward directed net force. On a level road this net force is the friction force acting from the road on the tires. You already looked at examples for this. Find an expression for the speed at which a car can negotiate the turn without any friction in the radial direction (f=0). Calculate...

On a bobsled run, there is a particularly steep 90° wall. Friction is essential to keep from sliding down this wall. Draw a force diagram to convince yourself that this is true, and explain why. For a bobsled traveling at 26.8 m/s, what is the necessary coefficient of friction to keep it from sliding down the wall? For a wall at 45°, what is the speed at which a 80 kg bobsled plus rider can negotiate a 10 m radius...
