    Finding normal force from kinetic and potential energies

    v1 is speed at A, Y is the height at B to the level of A. can you tell me where I made a mistake on my signs?

    Finding normal force from kinetic and potential energies

    A is original heigth, B is the bottom of the circle, below A. V1= Velocity at A picture was attached.

    Finding normal force from kinetic and potential energies

    A 69.2-kg skier encounters a dip in the snow's surface that has a circular cross section with radius of curvature of r = 13.2 m. If the skier's speed at point A in the figure below is 8.13 m/s, what is the normal force exerted by the snow on the skier at point B...

    Vector and scalar magnitude problem

    yea i used the negative. i actually tried both ways and was told both were incorrect. only have one chance left.
