Which of the following expressions gives the relationship among the banking angle θ\theta, the speed vv, and the curve radius rr for a vehicle that negotiates a frictionless banked turn without relying on friction? (Assume gg is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.) a) sin⁡θ=v2rg\displaystyle \sin\theta = \frac{v^{2}}{rg} b) tan⁡θ=rgv2\displaystyle \tan\theta = \frac{rg}{v^{2}} c) tan⁡θ=v2rg\displaystyle \tan\theta = \frac{v^{2}}{rg} d) cos⁡θ=v2rg\displaystyle \cos\theta = \frac{v^{2}}{rg}
