Homework Statement



A toy car with mass 0.02 kg is propelled by a spring with a spring constant 80 N/m onto a track. The track. The track contains a loop of radius 0.10m. Ignore any losses dueto friction and use g=10m/s. What is the minimum compression of the spring necessary for the car to complete the loop without leaving the track?
