Question: We will study the most important work of Nobel laureate Arthur Compton in Chapter 40. Disturbed by speeding cars outside the physics building at Washington

We will study the most important work of Nobel laureate Arthur Compton in Chapter 40. Disturbed by speeding cars outside the physics building at Washington University in St. Louis, Compton designed a speed bump and had it installed. Suppose that a 1 800-kg car passes over a bump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 20.4m as in Figure P6.51. (a) What force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the bump if the car travels at 30.0 km/h? (b) What If? What is the maximum speed the car can have as it passes this highest point without losing contact with the road?
