A car is traveling at the bottom of a 9.00-meter-radius circular hill with a constant speed v. The moment the car is at the bottom of the hill, it is noted that a person sitting on a scale in the car reads a value off the scale that is 80% more than normally when the scale is at rest in a bathroom. With what speed is the car traveling

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

reading of scale = reaction force of surface R

centripetal force = R - mg = m v² / R , m is mass , v is velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

R = mg + m v² / R

given ,

m v² / R = .80 mg

v² = .80 x g x R

= .8 x 9.8 x 9 = 70.56

v = 8.4 m /s
