The mass of a roller-coaster car, including its passengers, is 500 kg. Its speed at the bottom of the track in Figure P6.16 is 19 m/s. The radius of this section of the track is r1 = 25 m. Find the force that a seat in the roller-coaster car exerts on a 50-kg passenger at the lowest point.
In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)
