A train(T) is running uniformly on a straight track. A car is travelling with constant speed along section AB of the road which is parallel to the rails. The driver of the car notices that the train is having a speed of 7 m//s with respect to him. The car maintains the speed but takes a right turn at B and travels along BC. Now the driver of the car finds that the speed of train relative of him is 13 m//s . Find the possible speeds of the car.

A car is moving along a banked road laid out as a circle of radius r . (a) What should be the banking angle theta so that the car travelling at speed v needs no frictional force from tyres to negotiate the turn ? (b) The coefficient of friction between tyres and road are mu_(s) = 0.9 and mu_(k) = 0.8 . At what maximum speed can a car enter the curve without sliding toward the top edge of the banked turn ?
