CIRCULAR MOTION
Motion along a circular path : when a body is moving along a circular path with constant speed called uniform
circular motion, when speed is not constant, motion is said to be non-uniform circular motion.

Angle of banking: Angle by which an outer edge of circular track is raised to provide the necessary centripetal
force through the horizontal component of normal reaction.
