**Understanding Circular Motion and Frictional Force**1. **Insufficient Static Frictional Force** - The static frictional force is not large enough to keep the car in a circular path.2. **Skidding Towards the Outside** - The car skids toward the outside of the curve.3. **Skidding Towards the Inside** - The car skids toward the inside of the curve.4. **Sufficient Static Frictional Force** - The static frictional force is large enough to keep the car in a circular path.These points illustrate how the static frictional force impacts a car’s ability to navigate curves. Insufficient friction leads to skidding, while sufficient friction maintains the circular path. ### Required InformationA curve in a stretch of highway has a radius of 489 meters. The road is unbanked. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.500.### QuestionWhen the car enters the curve at a speed greater than the maximum safe speed (the speed at which the car won’t skid), which of the following statements are correct?

Given : Radius (r) = 489 m Coefficient of static friction (μs) = 0.500

Current Attempt in Progress A Dangerous Ride. You and your exploration team are stuck on a steep slope in the Andes Mountains in Argentina. A deadly winter storm is approaching and you must get down the mountain before the storm hits. Your path leads you around an extremely slippery, horizontal curve with a diameter of 92.0 m and banked at an angle of 40.0° relative to the horizontal. You get the idea to unpack the toboggan that you have been using to haul supplies, load your team upon it, and ride it down the mountain to get enough speed to get around the banked curve. You must be extremely careful, however, not to slide down the bank: at the bottom of the curve is a steep cliff. (a) Neglecting friction and air resistance, what must be the speed of your toboggan in order to get around the curve without sliding up or down its bank? Express your answer in m/s and m.p.h. (b) You will need to climb up the mountain and ride the toboggan down in order to attain the speed you need to safely…
