Why is the road banked at a curve, and what does the angle of banking depend on?

State the law of conservation of linear momentum and derive it from Newton's third law.

A block of mass 5 kg rests on a horizontal surface whose coefficient of static friction is 0.4. Find the least horizontal force needed to move it. Take g = 10 m s⁻².

Explain why a body moving in a circle at constant speed is said to be accelerating.

A body of mass 10 kg is pulled along a rough horizontal surface by a force of 40 N. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2, find the acceleration. Take g = 10 m s⁻².
