A rollercoaster ride is shown in the diagram below.  The mass of the car and Ms. Spearman is 700.0 kg and the coefficient of friction is 0.0500. 

Ms. Spearman wanted me to mention that majority of the mass was the car.

(a) Determine the force that must be applied to the car as it is pulled

up the hill at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s. 

(b) The car is released at point A with speed 1.00 m/s. Find the speed

at point B.
