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.#2: Gary Webster (glwebste) on Sep 10, 2019 [SPOILER]
This one's moving pretty fast! That's a steeeeeeeep bank!!#3: Jota (jota) on Aug 23, 2020
Indeed!#4: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 27, 2021 [SPOILER]
that's NASCAR steep!#5: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 10, 2021 [SPOILER]
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.#6: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Apr 28, 2024
This was one of my favorite things to learn and apply in physics! :D
