$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Mass}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{roller}-\mathrm{coaster}\mathrm{car}=1200\mathrm{kg}, \\ \mathrm{Radius}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{cirular}\mathrm{hill}=18\mathrm{m}, \\ \mathrm{Velocity}=11\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}\mathrm{and}14\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s} \end{gathered}$$

This problem is based on the concept of uniform circular motion. Uniform circular motion is a motion in which an object moves in a circular path with constant velocity. Also, it involves Newton鈥檚 second law of motion.

Formula:

The velocity in uniform circular motion is given by,

$\mathrm{v}=\frac{2\mathrm{蟺搁}}{\mathrm{T}}$

where, v is the velocity, R is the radius and T is the time period

According to Newton鈥檚 second law of motion

${\text{F}}_N-mg=m{a}_c$

where,${}^{{\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{c}}}$is an acceleration, g is an acceleration due to gravity, m is mass,${}^{F_{\mathrm{N}}}$is the normal force and R is the radius.

In this case consider the normal force pointing upward direction and gravity pointing downwards. Also, the direction to the center of the circle (the direction of centripetal acceleration) is down.

The centripetal acceleration then will be,

${\mathrm{a}}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{{\mathrm{v}}^2}{\mathrm{R}}$

Thus, equation (ii) leads to,

${\text{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}-\mathrm{mg}=\mathrm{m}\left(-\frac{{\mathrm{v}}^2}{\mathrm{r}}\right)$

${\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}=1200\mathrm{g}-1200\left(\frac{{\left(11\right)}^2}{18}\right)$

$=3.7脳{10}^3\mathrm{N}$

Thus, when${}^{v=11\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}}$, the magnitude of${}^{{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}=3.7脳{10}^3\mathrm{N}}$.

From above, the value of${}^{{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}}$is positive.

Thus,${}^{{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}}$points upward.

When $$\begin{gathered} {}^{\mathrm{v}=14\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}} \\ {\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}=-1.3脳{10}^3\mathrm{N},\mathrm{or}\left|{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}\right|=1.3脳{10}^3\mathrm{N} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the magnitude of${\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}$is$1.3\mathrm{kN}$

The fact that this answer is negative means that${}^{{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{N}}}$points opposite to what was assumed.

Thus, its direction is down.
