1. Note: mass of car and passengers is 520kg.
a) A safe roller coaster will have a g-force less than 6 at all points. Between points A, B, C and D,
determine which point will have the highest g-force and calculate the value to ensure that the roller
coaster is safe.
b) Calculate the normal force at the top of the first loop (point B) and the hill (point C) and explain how
you know whether the roller coaster will make it through the first loop safely (point B) and over the hill
without flying off (point C).
c) What is the minimum speed at point D for the roller coaster to safely make it through the second loop?
