In part a, the car was on this banked carve, right? but now it's on a level carve, okay? you know, um, theta equals zero.
00:23
You know, basically it's just, it's on a flat road.
00:28
But it's still going in a circle, okay? which means the car has some tangential velocity and some centripetal acceleration, okay? so then that means that the free body diagram on the car is n, mg, and force of friction, okay? which means that f net y is n minus mg equals zero, right? n equals mg, okay? and f net x is force of friction is equal to ma.
01:28
But remember that a is equal to v squared over r because we have centripetal acceleration, okay? so then that means that force of friction is equal to m times v squared over r, all right? but also, force of friction itself is defined to be mu times the normal force.
01:56
And we already defined the normal force up here, so it's equal to mu times mg...
