The loaded car of a roller coaster has mass M = 320 kg. It goes over the highest hill with a speed v of 21.4 m/s. The radius of curvature R of the hill is [01] m. (a) What is the force (N) that the track must exert on the car? (positive is up) (b) What must be the force (N) that the car exerts on a 61 kg passenger?

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The loaded car of a roller coaster has mass M = 320 kg. It goes over the highest hill with a speed v of 21.4 m/s. The radius of curvature R of the hill is 15.8 m.

(a) What is the force (N) that the track must exert on the car? (positive is up)

(b) What must be the force (N) that the car exerts on a 61 kg passenger?

a) the force (N) that the track must exert on the car is -6139.14 N

b) the force (N) that the car exerts on a 61 kg passenger is -1170.27 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let N represent the force that the track must exerted on the car

Net force on the car Fnet = Mg + N

so

M × a = Mg + N

N = Ma - Mg

N = Ma - M(v²/R)

we substitute

N = (320kg × 9.8m/s²) - ( 320 × ((21.4m/s)² / 15.8 m) )

N = 3136 - ( 320 × 28.9848 )

N = 3136 - 9275.136

N = -6139.14 N

Therefore, the force (N) that the track must exert on the car is -6139.14 N

b) What must be the force (N) that the car exerts on a 61 kg passenger?

Let N represent the force that the car exerts on 61kg passengers

so

Net force of passengers Fnet = mg + N

Ma = Mg + N

N = Ma - Mg

N = Ma - M(v²/R)

N = (61kg × 9.8m/s²) - ( 61 × ((21.4m/s)² / 15.8 m) )

N = 597.8 - ( 61 × 28.9848)

N = 597.8 - 1768.0728

N = -1170.27 N

Therefore, the force (N) that the car exerts on a 61 kg passenger is -1170.27 N

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.
