Problem 2: no ndio Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails, so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road. b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal? c) Repeat part b for the the friction force

Problem 2:
Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails,
so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously
difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled
at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg.
a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road.
b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal?
c) Repeat part b for the the friction force
d) How fast can Peach take the turn without flying or falling off the track?
