8. You are riding a roller coaster like the one shown at right. The radius of curvature of the loop is 12 m. Make sure that your answers to the following questions include a free body diagram. a) At what minimum speed must the roller coaster be traveling when upside down at the top of the circle (see photograph on the right) so that you do not fall out. b) Assume that the roller coaster is moving at the same speed when it gets to the bottom of the loop and that the track is still curved with the same radius of curvature. How "heavy" do you feel at the bottom of the loop relative to your normal weight?
