A frictionless roller coaster is given an initial velocity of at height h = 14 m. The radius of curvature of the track at point A is R = 39 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Find the maximum value of vo so that the roller coaster stays on the track at A solely because of gravity. Answer in units of m/s. Using the value of vo calculated in question 1, determine the value of h' that is necessary if the roller coaster just makes it to point B. Answer in units of m.
