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 of the normal force of the car acting on the passenger?
Homework Answers
a) centripetal acceleration = v^2/r
centripetal acceleration = 10^2/8
centripetal acceleration = 12.5 m/s^2
b)
c) magnitude of normal force
magnitude of normal force = mv^2/r - mg
magnitude of normal force = 55 * (12.5 - 9.8)
magnitude of normal force = 149 N
the magnitude of normal force is 149 N

A car in an amusement park roller coaster ride rolls without friction at the top of...
A car in an amusement park roller coaster ride rolls without friction at the top of a hill. The car begins at a height h from the top of a hill. A the bottom, the car then goes through a vertical loop where the car is upside down at the loop\'s top. If the radius of the loop is 20.0m, what is the minimum height h such that the car moves around the loop without falling off the track at...

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...

3. A frictionless roller-coaster goes around a circular loop of radius 11 m. It enters the bottom of the loop going 32 m/s. Find the speed of the roller-coaster when it gets to the top of the loop 4. For the loop in the previous problem find the velocity of the roller-coaster as a function of height off the ground. Use that to find the centripetal acceleration as a function of height. Plot the centripetal acceleration as a function of...
What is the speed, in m/s, of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 20.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?
Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure below. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed, in m/s, of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 20.0 m and the downward...

4. A roller coaster executes a 10 m radius loop-the-loop at a speed of 20 m/s. How heavy does a 50-kg passenger feel at the top of the loop? (Hint: draw a free body diagram. The apparent weight of the passenger is the normal force on the passenger).

At an amusement park, a car of mass m rolls without friction around a track as shown. The car starts from rest at point A, a height h = 3R above the bottom of the loop (R is the radius of the loop). Treat the car as a point-like particle. (a) Draw the free body diagram for the car and find the car’s kinetic energy and normal force acting on the car at the top of the loop (point B)....
