9. If a passenger vehicle travels in a circular path at too high a speed, it can tip over. The image below
shows a vehicle beginning to tip over.
A group of students investigated the speed at which a passenger vehicle will begin to tip over by using a remote-
control toy car.
The students drove the car around circular paths of various known radii, at such a speed that it was just starting
to tip for each radius. They timed the period of the cars motion and used the period to calculate the 'tipping
speed' (the speed at which the toy car begins to tip over) of the car.
The graph below shows the data collected by the students:

please prove this sample problem's answer using GRESA method
Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 106 m from earth's center.
The solution of the problem involves substituting known values of G (6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2), m1 (5.98 x 1024 kg), m2 (70 kg) and d (6.38 x 106 m) into the universal gravitation equation and solving for Fgrav. The solution is as follows:
A skateboarder weighing 74.26 kg goes over a smooth circular hill. If the skateboarder's speed at point A is 42.21 m/s, what is his speed at the top of the hill (point B)?
Use g=9.8 m/s2 . Derive first the working equation before you substitute the given data to avoid disparity from the correct answer. Round off answer up to two decimal places. Include the unit/s. Abbreviation only.
