Normal Reaction in A Banked Turn
In the case of a car being parked on a banked turn, the normal force would simply be:
But once the car starts to move on a banked turn, it "collides" with the turn itself, the turn feels this force, and returns it in the normal, causing the car to move circularly.
The normal is thus greater than simply its gravitational component.
If the normal were simply the component to gravity, one could not say when the vertical acceleration is 0.

“Like sleep disturbances, some worries at separation can be expected in the second year. If you accept this, then you will avoid reacting to this anxiety as if it’s your fault. A mother who feels guilty will appear anxious to the child, as if to affirm the child’s anxiety. By contrast, a parent who understands that separation anxiety is normal is more likely to react in a way that soothes and reassures the child.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The winter owl banked just in time to pass
And save herself from breaking window glass.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Let the Brazos
Freeze solid! And the Wabash turn to a leaden
Cinder of ice! The Marañon is too tepid, we must
Is freezing slowly in the blasts. The black Yonne
Congeals nicely.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
