Which force can a string provide when whirling an object in a horizontal circle?

Only tension along its length

In horizontal circular motion, which tension component provides the centripetal force?

Horizontal component FTcos⁡θF_T \cos\theta

What is the speed formula for an object completing circular motion with period TT and radius rr?

v=2πrTv = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

At the bottom of a vertical circle, how does tension compare to gravitational force?

Tension is greater than mgmg

How does tension vary in vertical circular motion compared to horizontal?

Both magnitude and direction vary

What provides the centripetal force when a car turns a corner on a flat road?

Friction force on the tyres

How does required friction force relate to speed when cornering on a flat road?

Increases with square of velocity

If a car's speed doubles, how much more friction force is required for the same corner?

Four times as much

On a banked corner with no friction, what provides the horizontal centripetal force?

Horizontal component of normal force

What does the ideal banking angle for a corner depend on?

Speed and radius only
