Normal force at the top of a vertical loop -- Circular Motion Dynamics
From the equation for centripetal force, I can see that the centripetal force is proportional to v^2. Does this have something to do with why there is a normal force at the top? Does the velocity of the object require there to be a normal force? If so, why is that the case?- Idontknowhatimdoing
