Answer:
Explanation:
The sense of weightlessness in orbiting satellite is because of the lack of any contact-forces. ... Thus, both the astronaut and the satellite have the same value of g, which is again equal to the centripetal acceleration of the satellite. These two neutralize each other, causing everything to appear weightless.

Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill:
- radius of the hill:
Solution:
(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car
(downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force,
, so we can write:
(1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
from which we find
