When a car is moving on a circular track which is sloped away from the centre of the track, is the static friction keep that car on the circle (constant speed) towards the outside of the circle, opposite the acceleration?
I'm having trouble seeing this because to me, the car would want to fall out of the circle, because of the slope. Which would mean it would need the static friction to be towards the centre.
