Explanation / Answer

1. speed of car = v
radius of turn = r
coefficient of static friciotn = k

so for equilibrium from fore balance
mv^2/r = k*mg
k = v^2/rg

b. for a constant k value
one is more likely to skid at higher speeds
because let skidding force be F
then
mv^2/r - kmg = F
dF/dv = 2mv/r
so rate of change of skidding force is directly proportional to speed
hence car would skid easily at higher speeds

c. again
mv^2/r - kmg = F
dF/dr = -mv^2/r^2
hence, the car will skid more at lower values of r
so sharper turns lead to more skidding
