Thank you very much for the kind welcome. I see. So if the formula a=(v^2)/r is usually used for centripidal force, and the only force holding the car to the curve is gravity, then this formula has to be used as a minimum where a=g? I think that makes sense.

Homework Statement A car is coasting without friction toward a hill of height 'h' and radius of curvature 'r'. What initial speed will result in the car's wheels just losing contact with the roadway as the car crests the hill? Homework Equations Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(m)(v^2) Potential...
