A cyclist taking turn bends inwards while a car passenger taking same turn is thrown outwards. The reason is

(A) : A cyclist always bends inwards while negotiating a horizontal curve. (r) : By bending, cyclist lowers his centre of gravity.

STATEMENT -1 : A cyclist has to bend while traversing a turn on a horizontal road . and STATEMENT -2: Normal force acting on the tyres of bicycle has horizontal component , ( which provides the necessary centripetal force ) only when cycle is bent

A road is banked at an angle of 30^(@) to the horizontal for negotiating a curve of radius 10 sqrt(3) m. At what velocity will a car experience no friction while negotiating the curve? Take g=10 ms^(-2)

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 ?
