A roller coaster car of mass 320 kg (including passengers) travels around a horizontal curve of radius
Question:
A roller coaster car of mass 320 kg (including passengers) travels around a horizontal curve of radius 35 m. Its speed is 16 m/s.
(a) What are the magnitude and direction of the total force exerted on the car by the track?
(b) What is the banking angle of the track if the frictional force is zero, so that the track exerts only a normal force on the car?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
