Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Why are NASCAR tracks banked, angled up, on the curves?

a) A banked track provides a normal force to supplement friction as a radial force.

b) Banking reduces the amount of static friction necessary between the tires and the track at a particular speed.

c) A banked curve allows cars to safely drive faster than an unbanked curve.

d) All of the above is correct

Please explain answer

Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
