Chapter 6, Problem 9P
The Indy 500. The Indianapolis Speedway (home of the Indy 500) consists of a 2.5 mile track having four turns, each 0.25 mile long and banked at 9°12′. What is the no-friction-needed speed (in m/s and mph) for these turns? (Do you think drivers actually take the turns at that speed?)

1.Circular Motion: Your evil cousin Throckmorton has come to visit for the weekend. His favourite pastime is skateboarding. You observe him skateboard from rest down a curved, frictionless ramp. If we treat Throckmorton and his skateboard as a particle, he moves through a quarter circle with radius 3.00m. Throcky and his skateboard have a mass 25.0kg. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the ramp.(b) Find the normal force that acts on him at the bottom of the curve.
