Chapter 6, Problem 10CQ
You are riding on a roller coaster with a hill that is effectively circular near the top. If you take the hill fast enough, you will be weightless as the roller coaster tops the hill. What is the direction of the normal force you would feel if you were moving at an even faster speed? What does your answer mean?

A space shuttle has a mass of 90,000 kg. In order to stay in a circular orbit, it must have a velocity of 8000 m/s. The pilot discovers that the shuttle has slowed down to 7900 m/s and the shuttle's speed needs to increase. If the thrusters exert a constant force of 50,000 N, how
do the thrusters have to exert this force in order to return the shuttle to orbital velocity?

Which, if any, of the following choices is the other half of that third law pair? O The force the bowl exerts on the table. O The force the table exerts on the bowl.
