Question

A stuntman drives a car (without negative lift) over the top of a hill, the cross section of which can be approximated by a circle of radius R = 110 m. What is the greatest speed at which he can drive without the car leaving the road at the top of the hill?

Answer 1

dude, this problem is impossible

Answer 2

can anyone explain this problem?

Answer 3

The normal force and the centripetal *force need to equal eachother if the car is to remain grounded, so N=mV^2/r or mg=mV^2/r and then the masses cancel and we have g=V^2/r or v^2=gr.

Answer 4

32.83 m/s
