The speed of a 110-g toy car at the bottom of a vertical circular portion of the track is 8.25 m/s. If the radius of curvature of this portion of the track is 57.5 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.)?
Somone is standing on a piece of cardboard holding a wire that is attached to a vehicle. The friction between the cardboard and road is 67N. The wire makes a 24° angle with the road. The tension on the wire is 134N. If they start from rest how long does it take them to reach a speed of 14m/s and how far have they traveled? The mass of the person and the cardboard is 80kg
