Question

A road heading due east passes over a small hill. You
drive a car of mass m at constant speed v over the top of the hill, where
the shape of the roadway is well approximated as an arc of a circle with
radius R. Sensors have been placed on the road surface there to measure
the downward force that cars exert on the surface at various speeds. The
table gives values of this force versus speed for your car: Treat the car as a particle. (a) Plot the values in such a way that they
are well fitted by a straight line. You might need to raise the speed, the
force, or both to some power. (b) Use your graph from part (a) to calculate
m and R. (c) What maximum speed can the car have at the top of the
hill and still not lose contact with the road?
