Puzzle Description:

The banked curve

#1: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Aug 5, 2018 [SPOILER]

It is the centripetal force on a banked curve that keeps your car from sliding even under extremely low friction conditions. You just have to get the speed right.

I was going to guess friction. It looks like the roadway is on a diagonal and the car isn't sliding down because of friction.

This was one of my favorite things to learn and apply in physics! :D
