At the top of the hill, what are the (a) magnitudeand (b) direction (up or down) of the normal force on the car from the track if the car鈥檚 speed is? What are (c)and (d) the direction if?
Q49P
In Fig. 6-39, 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鈥檚 mass is .What is the magnitude of the normal force on the driver from the seat when the car passes through the bottom of the valley?

Q4Q
In three experiments, three different horizontal forces are applied to the same block lying on the same countertop. The force magnitudes are,, . In each experiment, the block remains stationary in spite of the applied force. Rank the forces according to (a) the magnitude of the static frictional force on the block from the countertop and (b) the maximum value role="math" localid="1660904123305" of that force, greatest first.
Q50P
