A 3000 kg car is driving over a hill with a radius of 50.0 m. How fast would it need to go in order for force normal to be 12,000 N at the very top of the hill?
Added by Gabe C.
Step 1
The forces acting on the car are the force of gravity (weight) pointing downwards and the normal force pointing upwards. Show more…

A car of mass $1000 \mathrm{kg}$ is traveling over the top of a hill as shown in Eigure $\mathrm{P} 5.21$ a. If the hill has a radius of curvature of $40 \mathrm{m}$ and the car is traveling at $15 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},$ what is the normal force between the hill and the car at the top of the hill? b. If the driver increases her speed sufficiently, the car will leave the ground at the top of the hill. What is the speed required to make that happen?

Examples of Circular Motion
a 1200 kg car is driving at the top of a hill that can be approximated by a circle with an effective radius of 210m. if the car has a speed of 25 m/s at the top of the hill, what is the magnitude of the normal force of the road acting on the car?

A car of mass 1500 kg goes over a hill at a speed of 20 m/s. The shape of the hill is approximately circular, with a radius of 60 m, as in the figure at right. When the car is at the highest point of the hill, What is the force of gravity on the car? What is the normal force of the road on the car at this point?
