*13-100. For a short time, the 250-kg roller-coaster car with passengers is traveling along the spiral track at a constant speed of $v = 8$ m/s. If the track descends $d = 12$ m for every full revolution, $\theta = 2\pi$ rad, determine the magnitudes of the components of force which the track exerts on the car in the $r$, $\theta$, and $z$ directions. Neglect the size of the car.

(10pts) A Rolls Royce Phantom weighing 2.49X10^4 Newtons is travelling on along a road with a coefficient of friction of 0.99. The car makes a fast stop and decelerates with a force of -1.83X10^4 Newtons. Determine the cars mass and acceleration.

$\cdot$ A racing car drives at constant speed around the horizontal track shown in Figure $6.25 .$ At points $A, B,$ and $C,$ draw a vector showing the magnitude and direction of the net force on this car. Make sure that the lengths of your arrows represent the relative magnitudes of the three forces.
Calculate the force needed to speed up a car with a rate of 5ms–2, if the mass of the car is 1000 kg.
