Homework Statement
Draw the FBD including Kinetic Friction, Gravity, and Normal force
Relevant Equations
Fnet = mv^2/r
weight pointing down
Fn pointing down and to the left (to the center of the dome)
Fs pointing ..?? Should it not be off the page? Maybe up and off the page to oppose movement + gravity?

Can you post a labeled diagram of your "vertically horizontal circle on the underside of a dorm" please?

Hi @bobbeh and welcome to PF.

The title:
"FBD of a toy car moving in a vertically horizontal circle on the underside of a dome"
is not clear.

Is the plane in which the circle lies horizontal or vertical (or something else)?
Is the car'speed constant?
Are the car's wheel rolling without slipping?
At what position is the car on the dome?

You need to provide the complete and exact original question, word-for-word (and as already noted by @renormalize, a diagram).
