46. A police officer in hot pursuit drives her car
through a circular turn of radius 300 m with a constant speed of
80.0 km/h. Her mass is 55.0 kg.What are (a) the magnitude and (b)
the angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the officer on
the car seat? (Hint: Consider both horizontal and vertical
forces.)
I don't understand why the net force in the problem is centripetal force and gravitation. I think there should be normal force but in Chegg's solution, there are only centripetal force and gravitation. Could you explahn why?
