A roller coaster cart is moving over the top of a circular hill that has a diameter of 56.3 m. What is the fastest safe speed that the roller cart can go over the top of the hill? (that is, at what speed will the cart begin to lose contact with the track?). Assume a coefficient of friction of 0.3.

    PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 46 A roller coaster cart starts at the top of a quarter circular hill (no friction) of some radius at a speed of 11.8 m/s.   At the bottom of the hill it encounters a horizontal surface with friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.55. It travels over that horizontal surface for 8 meters and encounters a frictionless loop with a radius of 23 meters. If it is to just barely make...

    A huge spring launched a cart with passengers into a roller-coaster with a circular loop, which has a radius of 8.00 meters. The whole roller-coaster is frictionless. At the top of a circular loop, the cart is moving with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The total mass of the cart with the passengers is 450 kg. a. [5] With that speed, does the cart stay in contact with the roller-coaster at the top of the loop? b. [2] At the...

    Imagine a roller coaster that starts at the top of a big hill, and goes immediately into a loop-the-loop. If the mass of you and the cart is 50 kg, and the loop is 30 m tall, how high does the hill have to be so that you make it through the loop without falling off? Assume there is no friction. Be exact in your calculation.

    A 4,500-kg roller coaster cart has a speed of 4.76 m/sm/s when it reaches its first peak at a 99.0 mm height from the ground level. After descending, it climbs up the second hill which is 84.2 mm above the ground level. How fast is the roller coaster cart at the top of the second hill? Assume there is no friction with the rails and no air resistance during the cart's motion.

    A 200-kg roller coaster reaches the top of the steepest hill with a speed of 5.60 km/h. It then descends the hill, which is at an angle of 25° and is 58.0 m long. What will its kinetic energy be when it reaches the bottom? Assume µk = 0.10. A boy pulls a 20.0-kg box with a 130-N force at 33° above a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the horizontal surface is 0.29...
