Question

A 1000 kg car rides over a hill with a radius of curvature of 30 m. What is the maximum speed that the car can

travel over the hill without launching off the hill (when it's too fast to be in circular motion). Round to a whole
number.


Let's say that the car moves over the hill at 10m/s. What is the value of the normal force at the top of the hill? Answer with 2 sig figs

Answer 1

hi-

Step-by-step explanation:

Since v = R , For the car to lose contact with the road, it must be traveling at a speed of 28 m/s or greater when it reaches the crest of the hill. At lower speeds, the car would remain in contact with the road.
