2. Patrick was riding his bike on a track that forms a vertical circular loop (like a roller coaster loop). Patrick and his bike have a combined mass of 150kg. a) If the diameter of the loop is 10.5m, what is the minimum speed required for Patrick to make it around the loop safely (keeping his tires on the track the entire time)? Hint: at the top of the loop, the net force will be ON in the rotating reference frame. b) What will be the normal force acting on Patrick's tires after he has completed the loop and is moving horizontally? (he is still feeling the effect of centripetal acceleration)

For any vector quantity, be sure to always include the magnitude and direction

The energy questions must show energy methods to solve them (kinematics methods will not be acceptable unless there is no other method to find the answer)
