Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 48_M_FCP
A roller-coaster car at an amusement park has a mass of 1200 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius 18 m, assume that its speed is not changing. At the top of the hill, what are the (a) magnitude \(F_N\) and (b) direction (up or down) of the normal force on the car from the track if the car’s speed is \(v = 11\text{ m/s}\)? What are (c) \(F_N\) and (d) the direction if \(v = 14\text{ m/s}\)?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 1200 kg, 18 m
Find: (a) magnitude \; (b) direction; (d) the direction if \
