A car of mass negotiates a banked curve of radius on a frictionless road. If the banking angle is , the safe speed of the car is

Important Questions on Laws of Motion
Reason (R): The trains have different centripetal accelerations due to different speeds.

Two stones of masses and are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius and the lighter one in radius . The tangential speed of lighter stone is times that of the tangential speed of the heavier stone. They are reported to experience the same centripetal force. The value of is,





Statement I: A cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of the radius of without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is . The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve
Statement II : If the road is banked at an angle of , cyclist can cross the curve of radius with the speed of without slipping. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

(Assume the string is massless and un-stretchable)



The Earth (of mass ) revolves round the sun with an angular velocity of in a circular orbit of radius The force exerted by the sun on the earth is








A modern grand-prix racing car of mass is travelling on a flat track in a circular arc of radius with a speed If the coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the track is then the magnitude of negative lift acting downwards on the car is:
