VCM-1 Rommel drives his car straight ahead with a constant speed over a hilltop with circular curvature of radius R. a) Draw the free body diagram for Rommel's car when it is passing the highest point on the hill as shown to the right. b) Apply Fnet ma to Rommel's car for the radial and tangential directions. Use no numbers in these equations. c) Rommel's car has a mass of 1,800kg and is traveling at a constant speed of 15.0m/s. The radius of the hill is R-40.0M. Use your equations from part b) to find the normal force exerted on the car by the road when the car is at the top of the hill.
