This exam contains multiple-choice questions and problems. For each multiple-choice question, circle the letter(s) of the best response. For problems, show your work in a clear, organized, professional manner in the space provided. Your final answer should be clearly identified! You may receive partial credit for partial solutions, including correct diagrams. Numerical answers without supporting calculations will receive zero credit. Partial credit is available only if your work is clear but is not available on multiple-choice questions.

Multiple choice: Circle the answer(s) for each part as directed.

15. (12 pis total) A car drives along a banked curve of radius R=50.0 m as shown.

(a) (7 pts) At what angle e should the road be banked so that the car does \

not slide sideways (skid) even when the road is covered with ice (that is,

frictionless) when traveling at 40 km/h? . 1'=40km/h

Your answer can be numerical (if it includes the direction), but a short, clear explanation is sufficient.
