a. You're driving over the top of a hill with a radius of 15.075 m. How fast would you need to drive over it to just bounce off your seat as you go over the top? Previous submissions: b. How fast would you need to drive over the top for the normal force of the seat pushing up on you to be half your weight?

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? B)After it goes over the hump and is navigating through the bottom of the ditch as it begins to climb back out must the normal force be bigger or smaller (which) than it is on horizontal ground? Why?
