The 52 kg man in the roller coaster car is sitting on a bathroom scale. If he is traveling at 41.5 m/s at the point shown and the radius of the vertical coaster track is 82 meters, to the nearest newton what does the scale read? What is the answer to the previous problem if the roller coaster is at the bottom of the track?

Problem 1 You are designing a roller coaster, shown in the figure below. An empty car has a mass of 120 kg. The radius of the vertical loop in the track is 12.0 m and the bottom of the loop is 5.0 m above the ground. Assuming the roller coaster is frictionless, how high must the car initially climb above the ground (point A) such that the speed of the car is 25.0 m/s at the top of the loop...
A roller-coaster car has a mass of 498 kg when fully loaded with passengers. The path of the coaster from its initial point shown in the figure to point B involves only up-and- down motion (as seen by the riders), with no motion to the left or right. Assume the roller-coaster tracks at points and Bare parts of vertical circles of radius r1 = 10.0 m and r2 = 15.0 m, respectively. (a) If the vehicle has a speed of...
A roller-coaster car has a mass of 500 kg when fully loaded with passengers At the bottom of a circular dip of radius 40 m (as shown in the figure) the car has a speed of 16 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of the track on the car at the bottom of the dip?
You are designing a new roller-coaster. The main feature of this particular design is to be a vertical circular loop-the-loop where riders will feel like they are being squished into their seats even when they are in fact upside-down (at the top of the loop). The coaster start at rest a height of 80m above the ground, speeds up as it descends to ground level, and then enters the loop which has a radius of 20m. Suppose a rider is...
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?
A roller-coaster car shown in the figure on the right is released from rest from a height h and then moves freely with negligible friction. The roller-coaster track includes a circular loop of radius R in a vertical plane. a. First suppose the car barely makes it around the loop; at the top of the loop, the riders are upside down and feel weightless. Find the required height h of the release point above the bottom of the loop in...
A roller coaster has mass 3000.0 kg and needs to make it safely through a vertical circular loop of radius 50.0 m. What is the minimum angular momentum, in kg*m^2/s, of the coaster at the bottom of the loop to make it safely through? Neglect friction on the track. Take the coaster to be a point particle.
The figure below shows a roller-coaster car
on a track. The car is fully loaded with passengers and has a total
mass of 440 kg. At point A, the car is at the lowest point in a
circular arc of radius r1 = 12.6 m. At point B, the car is at the
highest point of a circular arc of radius r2 = 15.8 m.

A roller-coaster car has a mass of 660 kg when fully loaded with passengers. The car passes over a hill of radius 15 m, as shown. At the top of the hill, the car has a speed of 8.2 m/s. What is the force of the track on the car at the top of the hill?
3. A roller coaster sits at the top of a hill and is preparing to enter a loop-the-loop as shown below. The hill has a height of 86.0 meters, the loop has a radius of 22.0 meters and the roller coaster has a mass of 525 kg. Assume h=0 at the bottom of the hill. a) What will be the velocity of the roller coaster when it reaches point C? A b) What will be the velocity of the roller...
