A 73.0-kg student sits in a car rolling on the top of a hill as shown. The car moves at a constant speed of 6.4 m/s and the circular path has a radius of R = 12.5 m. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the student, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

An ultracentrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 100,000 rpm in 2.0 min. If this ultracentrifuge accelerates 4.0 seconds starting from rest, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration in unit of gravitational acceleration g for your sample sitting at 4.0 cm from the center axis? Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Hint: compute the centripetal acceleration in unit of m/s2 first, then divided by g will be your answer. For example, if your centripetal acceleration is 19.6 m/s2, your answer measured in unit of g is 2.0.
