A. A 1800 kg car's tires have a coefficient of friction equal to 0.25 on wet asphalt. What is the fastest that this car can drive along a flat turn with a radius of 200 m without slipping? B. How would this speed change if the car had a mass of 3600 kg instead? C. How would this speed change if the road were slanted? Would the possible speed be higher or lower?
