A 30 kg kid is spinning on the edge of a horizontal merry-go-round with a radius of 5 m. She makes 4 spins in 12 seconds. If she is holding onto a handle of the merry-go-round with 200N of force, how much force of friction must her feet apply to keep her in the circle? Round to a whole number.

What tangential velocity must this object spin with so that the angle the 10m string makes with the vertical equals 60 degrees? (note: plug in mass as a variable here, it will cancel out). Round to a whole number.

A 1000 kg car rides over a hill with a radius of curvature of 30 m. What is the maximum speed that the car can travel over the hill without launching off the hill (when it's too fast to be in circular motion). Round to a whole number.
