Circular Motion
I think what I don't understand is how to find the normal force, especially with an object on a hill. My teacher didn't go over it very well so I have only a vague understanding of it. [b(] Here is a sample question that deals with it that I can not seem to figure out how to go about it.
A 1000-kg sports car moving at 20 m/s crosses the rounded top of a hill (radius=100m). Determine the normal force on the car.
I think if I understand how to do this problem, I'll be fine with the others. Thanks for any input!
*edited. Sorry! I posted the wrong problem. haha. This should be the one. Yup, normal force.
