This is an interactive homework problem for introductory physics students relating to uniform circular motion. Given the mass of a car, the radial curvature of an exit ramp, and the angle of its bank, students must determine the constant speed required for the car to stay in the center of the ramp.
A user-activated "help" sequence is provided for each step of the problem-solving, including conceptual analysis, free-body diagrams, and quantitative calculations. Immediate feedback is received for both correct and incorrect responses. This item is part of a larger collection of interactive homework problems for introductory physics. See Related items on this page for a link to the full collection.
