A vehicle is zooming along a very hilly stretch of road. First it goes over a hump in this road then downhill through an empty ditch before climbing back uphill as it ascends from the ditch and climbs up the bank. The hump in the road which has a radius of 20.0m. the car’s weight is 9800N a)How fast can it go over the hump without lifting up above the surface of the road?
