A car traveling on a straight road at 9.00 m/s goes over a hump in the road. The hump may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 11.0 m.
(a) What is the apparent weight of a 600-N woman in the car as she rides over the hump?
(b) What must be the speed of the car over the hump if she is to experience weightlessness?
(That is, if her apparent weight is zero.)
Answer: (a) 149 N; (b) 10.4 m/s
I have the answers but can someone show me the steps to get to these answers; please & thankyou...I'm reviewing for my exam.
