5. Figure 3, below, shows a rollercoaster ride. The curve of the rollercoaster is given by the equation: 1 120 y=. a) Determine p, the radius of curvature for the rollercoaster curve. (3 marks) b) Under certain test conditions, the rollercoaster car is at point 8 with a speed of 22 m/s and is accelerating at a, = 3.5 m/s². Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the rollercoaster at this point. (2 mark) c) Under different test conditions, the rollercoaster starts from rest at A and its speed increases given by the equation: a = (5-0.05s) m/s². Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the rollercoaster when it reaches point B, where s = 45 m. -30 m- "dow (5 marks)
