I use force equals mass times acceleration wouldn't I be just using trigonometry to calculate the angle of the triangles using The horizontal and vertical components? I see what you're saying that the acceleration is gravity . I will try to formulate a paper with those equations soon .

Agreed please see my response below and see if you can comment some help.

Yes I agree there is no friction. This I believe is given in the problem itself. I spoke to the head of the physics department and he basically told me to envision the highway curve as a bowl with the same angle throughout. I have attached a paper that I wrote to my teacher trying to explain my...

Hi all here is the question I need to justify. Please see the attached file with the question. I would simply like to use the formula (theta)=tan(^-1)[(v^2)/gr] to solve the angle. This gives the correct answer. Now my teacher however solves it using a different vector method and says in order...
