- A car drives around two circular curves on two different roads. The two curves have the same radius of curvature. And coincidentally, the maximum speed that the car can drive through either of the turns is the same for both roads.

He does so by swinging a rock at the end of a massless cord in a vertical circle. In order to complete the full circle, Spock finds that the rock needs a minimum speed of 3.0 m/s at the top of the circle.
