A roller coaster is designed such that riders experience "weightlessness" as they go round the top of a hill whose radius of curvature is $20\, m.$ The speed of the car at the top of the hill is between
  • A$16\ m/s$  and $ 17\  m/s $ 
  • B$13\  m/s$  and $14\  m/s$ 
  • C$14\ m/s$  and $15\  m/s$ 
  • D$15\  m/s$  and $ 16\  m/s$
