a) What force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the bump if the car travels at 14.9 m/s?
b) What is the maximum speed the car can have as it passes this highest point before losing contact with the road?
Homework Equations
N-mg=mv^2/r
mg=mv2/r
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried using the equation above and got 28246N, but that was not correct.
For part b) I got 6.37m/s. Also not correct.
