A 60 kg person is riding a roller coaster with radius of 6 m At top of curve the normal force acting on the person is 120N Determine the speed of the car at this point
Normal force = m v^2 / r
F = m v^2 / r
v = sqrt( F r / m) = sqrt( 120 * 6 / 60 ) = 3.46 m/s
=====================================================
Speed of the car at this point = 3.46 m/s

A roller coaster car travels around a vertical loop. At the top of the loop, where it is upside down, it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s. Given that the loop has a radius of 8.0 m, a) What is the value of the car’s centripetal acceleration at that instant in time? b) A 55 kg passenger is in the car. Draw a free‐body diagram showing all the forces acting on the passenger. c) What is the magnitude...
A roller coaster car of mass 800 kg when released from rest at
point A (height h above the ground) slides along the track and
inside the loop of radius 16.0 m. The car never loses contact with
the track.
A) Draw below a free body diagram for the car the car at the top
of the loop.
B) If the normal force acting on the car at the top is 1500 N,
what is the speed of the car...

The mass of a roller-coaster, including its passengers, is 500.0 kg. The radius r 2 of the highest track (point B) in the figure is 40 m. Find the speed of the roller-coaster when the passengers feel weightless at the the top of the track. Weightless is the condition when the contact force between the coaster and the track is zero, that is, the normal force is zero. Use g = 10 m/s. 20 m/s 10V3 m/s 10 m/s 10v5...
A student with mass 58.0 kg rides on a roller coaster with a vertical loop. At the top of the loop the track has a radius of 19.7 m and the roller coaster moves at speed of 21.9 m/s at the top. Determine the normal force from the seat on the student at the top of the loop. Give your answer in newtons (N) and with 3 significant figures.
5) A ball on a 1.4 m long string is being whirled in mid-air in a horizontal circle at a constant speed. The tension in the string is 26 N and the mass of the ball is 0.74 kg. a) What angle does the string make with the horizontal? (Also, why is the string not parallel to the ground?) b) What is the speed of the ball? Be warned, the radius of the circular motion is not the length of...
A certain roller coaster design uses a vertical loop of radius 7.248 m. Assuming that the roller coaster remains on the track, what is the minimum speed of a car at the top of the loop? (HINT: In general, the centripetal force is the vector sum of the car's weight w and the normal force N exerted by the tracks. The value of N varies with the speed. The minimum value of N is zero, which occurs when the roller...
A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 12-m-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light," with an apparent weight only 60% of their true weight. How fast is the coaster moving?

A 540 kg roller coaster has a speed of 21.0 m/s as it reaches the lowest point on the track, which is at the bottom of a vertical curve with a radius of 13.0 m. What is the force of the track on the vehicle at this point?
