Problem#1 The flip flap railway had a 25 feet (7.62 m) tall loop and had zero normal force at the top, a) calculate the velocity at the top of the ride. b) using the work energy equation, calculate the velocity at the bottom of the ride. Solve for the acceleration and divide by 9.8 m/s² and then add 1g because on the earth's surface the acceleration due to gravity is 1 g.

Follow-up Question
what about the last part? how many g's does the coaster experience? I calculate 6, but every story I've read about the Flip-Flap says 12 g's.
