Over the Hump

Drive over a hump and slide off a dome. Find where the road stops pushing.

Physics · Class 11 · Leaving a curved surface · 5 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Hump speed: The road's push falls to zero at √(gR)
  2. Lighter at the top: Over a hump, the road pushes less than mg
  3. Off the dome: The block leaves where the dome's push reaches zero
  4. Dip in the road: In a dip, the seat pushes more than mg
  5. Fit the circle: Radius of curvature: v² over the sideways acceleration
