A small car with mass 0.8kg travels uniformly at 12 m/s on the inside of a track that is a vertical circle (with r=5m). If the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the track on the car when it is on the top of the track is 6N, what is the magnitude of the normal force on the car when it is on the bottom of the track?

a car is driven at constant speed over a circular hill and then into a circular valley with the same radius. At the top of the hill, the normal force on the driver from the car seat is 0. The driver’s mass is 70.0 kg.What is the magnitude of the normal force on the driver from the seat when the car passes through the bottom of the valley?
Kinesiologists—scientists who study human motion—can measure the forces that act on runners as they round a curve. The forces on a runner’s feet are a vertical normal force that, on average, serves to counteract gravity, and a static friction force parallel to the ground and pointing toward the center of the runner’s circular path. The average value of this inward-pointing force is measured to be 600 N for a 75 kg runner rounding a curve that has a 2.5 m radius. What is this runner’s speed?
The speed of a 200-g toy car at the bottom of a vertical circular portion of track is 7.25 m/s. If the radius of curvature of this portion of the track is 52.5 cm, what are the magnitude and direction of the force the track exerts on the car? (Assume the car's path is in the clockwise direction.)
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?
A jet airplane is in level flight. The mass of the airplane is ?=8830 kg. The airplane travels at a constant speed around a circular path of radius ?=9.33 mi and makes one revolution every ?=0.123 h. Given that the lift force acts perpendicularly upward from the plane defined by the wings, what is the magnitude of the lift force acting on the airplane?

An 8.00 kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 33.0 above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the ramp is mk = 0.300. A constant horizontal force F = 26.0 N is applied to the box, and the box moves down the ramp. If the box is initially at rest, what is its speed 2.00 s after the force is applied?
The drawing shows a baggage carousel at an airport. Your suitcase has not slid all the way down the slope and is going around at a constant speed on a circle ((r = 8.90 m) as the carousel turns. The coefficient of static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is 0.640, and the angle in the drawing is 5.90°. How much time is required for your suitcase to go around once? Assumme that the static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is at its maximum.
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron (mass m=9.1 x 10^-31 kg) orbits a proton at a distance of 5.3 x 10^-11 m. The proton pulls on the electron with an electric force of 8.2 x 10^-8 N. How many revolutions per second does the electron make? Can you please make the solution detailed as this is a new topic I had to self-teach myself due to the peculiar circumstances, which is difficult for me. Thank you :)
