In a loop-the-loop ride a car goes around a vertical, circular loop at a constant speed. The car has a mass m = 286 kg and moves with speed v = 13.82 m/s. The loop-the-loop has a radius of R = 8 m.
1)
What is the magnitude of the normal force on the care when it is at the bottom of the circle? (But as the car is accelerating upward.)
2)
What is the magnitude of the normal force on the car when it is at the side of the circle (moving vertically upward)?
3)
What is the magnitude of the normal force on the car when it is at the top of the circle?
4)
Compare the magnitude of the cars acceleration at each of the above locations:
A) abottom = aside = atop
B) abottom < aside < atop
C) abottom > aside > atop
5)
What is the minimum speed of the car so that it stays in contact with the track at the top of the loop?
Given, m = 286 kg
v = 13.82 m/s
R = 8 m
Centripetal force, Fc = mv^2 /R = 286*(13.82)^2 /8 = 6827.98 N
1) At the bottom of the circle,
F = Fc + mg = 6827.98 + 280*9.81 = 9574.78 N
2) At the side of the circle,
F = Fc = 6827.98 N
3) At the top of the circle,
F = Fc - mg = 6827.98 - 280*9.81 = 4081.18 N
4) a(bottom) = 9574.78/280 = 34.2 m/s^2
a(side) = 6827.98/280 = 24.38 m/s^2
a(top) = 4081.18/280 = 14.57 m/s^2
Option C is correct.
a(bottom) > a(side) > a(top)
5) Minimum speed = sqrt(g*r) = sqrt(9.81*8) = 8.86 m/s

A rollercoaster cart with a mass of 11 kg is travelling around a vertical loop (circle) with a radius of 8 meters. At the top, it's traveling at the minimum speed needed so that it remains in contact with the track. If at some short time later it is at the side of the loop (halfway between the top and bottom), what is the normal force on the cart, in Newtons, if it loses 147 Joules of work to non-conservative...
In the figure, a car is driven at constant speed over a circular hill and then into a circular valley with the same radius. At the top of the hill, the normal force on the driver from the car seat is 0. The driver's mass is 56.0 kg. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the driver from the seat when the car passes through the bottom of the valley? Raclius Raclius Units Number
P6 A car travels around a circular track at constant speed, as shown. It is observed that the car takes 15.71 seconds to go from point A to point B along the track (exactly a quarter circle). An accelerometer mounted on the car shows that its acceleration has a constant magnitude of 7.0 m/s2. Please answer each of the following questions. For answers that require vectors, refer to the instant shown in the figure. a) What is the radius of...

A car travels at a constant speed around a circular track whose radius is 2.65 km. The car goes once around the track in 341 s. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car?
A motorbike performs the'' loop the loop' 'stunt where it travels in vertical circular motion. At the top of the circle the centripetal force is fn+mg=mv^2/r. It must have a minimum speed to stay on the track. The book says to minimise velocity the normal force has to equal zero. My question is how can a normal force be zero if something has to be oppose the static frictional force.
A car of mass 500. kg on a roller coaster ride is raised from the ground (horizontal dotted line) to point A as shown in the diagram above. When the car passes point A, its speed is 5.0 m/s, and then it rolls freely through the rest of the ride with negligible friction, passing points B, C, D and E. Note that point D is the highest portion of a circular loop, and point E is the lowest portion of...
