slides down to ground level,? A rollercoaster car starts at rest on top of a frictionless hill of height 22 m, slides down to ground level, and then into a frictionless loop of radius 5 m.

a.) When the car is at the side of the loop (level with the center), find the magnitude of the car's:

angular velocity: _____ rad/s
centripetal acceleration: _____ m/s^2
tangential acceleration: _____ m/s^2

b.) When the car is at the top of the loop, find the magnitude of the car's:

angular velocity: _____ rad/s
centripetal acceleration: _____ m/s^2
tangential acceleration: _____ m/s^2

c.) Can the constant angular acceleration equations be used to analyze the motion of this car going around the loop?
