How does a car jump? (IMAGE)
Caption
As a car goes over a circular hill (subject to the normal force N, gravitational force mg, and frictional force f) is it most likely to lose contact with the road on the way up the hill, at the crest of the hill, or on the way back down the far side of the hill? How does your answer depend on the manner in which the car's speed does or does not change?
