  1. Question 1

    Q1. What is the minimum speed required for a car to move in a circular path on a frictionless banked road?

    • A) √(r*g*tan(θ))
    • B) √(r*g*sin(θ))
    • C) √(r*g*cos(θ))
    • D) √(g*r/tan(θ))

    Answer: √(r*g*tan(θ))

    Explanation: The minimum speed is derived from the condition that the horizontal component of normal force provides the necessary centripetal force, leading to v = √(r*g*tan(θ)).
