- A car moves round a bend which is banked at a constant angle of \(\theta ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal.
When the car is travelling at a constant speed of \(80 \mathrm {~km} \mathrm {~h} ^ { - 1 }\) there is no sideways frictional force on the car. The car is modelled as a particle moving in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m .
- Find the value of \(\theta\).
- Identify one limitation of this model.
The speed of the car is increased so that it is now travelling at a constant speed of \(90 \mathrm { kmh } ^ { - 1 }\) The car is still modelled as a particle moving in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m .
- Describe the extra force that will now be acting on the car, stating the direction of this force.
