Banked road turn

Bank a circular road so a car can turn without friction.

Open the simulation

What to notice

A banked track lets the road provide the centripetal force.

Key relation

tanθ = v²/(rg)

Try this

Increase the bank angle and see the safe speed rise.

What you can change

• Bank angle: 5 to 45 °
• Turn radius: 20 to 200 m
