Consider the diagram representing a portion of an amusement park ride. Y axis is the height...
Below is a drawing of a freefall ride at an amusement park. There are three brave individuals in the car at the top of the hill. The car, including occupants, has a mass of 450 kg. The spring constant (k) is 4400 N m The track that the car rides on is frictionless except for a spot at the bottom of the hill called the rough area. Calculate how much the spring compresses as it brings the car to a...
90 m (15 points) A roller coaster ride at an amusement park lifts a car of mass 700 kg to point A at a height of 90 m above the lowest point on the track, as shown above. The car starts from rest at point A. rolls with negligible friction down the incline and follows the track around a loop of radius 20 m. Point B. the highest point on the loop, is at a height of 50 m above...
A proposed ride at the Valley Fair amusement park launches a roller coaster car up an inclined track. Near the top of the track, the car reverses direction and rolls backwards into the station. As a member of the safety committee, you have been asked to compute the acceleration of the car throughout the ride and determine if the acceleration of an object moving up a ramp is different from that of an object moving down the same ramp. To...
An amusement park ride consists of a rotating vertical cylinder with rough canvas walls. The floor is initially about halfway up the cylinder wall as shown. After the rider has entered and the cylinder is rotating sufficiently fast, the floor is dropped down, , yet the rider does not slide down. The rider has mass of 50 kg. The diameter of the cylinder is 6.5 meters. The coefficient of static friction between the rider and wall of the cylinder is...
An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that a person inside is stuck to the wall and does not slide down when the floor drops away. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Given g = 9.8 m/s 2 , the coefficient µ = 0.564 of static friction between a person and the wall, and the radius of the cylinder R = 4.9 m. For simplicity, neglect the...
An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that a person inside is stuck to the wall and does not slide down when the floor drops away. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. Given g = 9.8 m/s2, the coefficient μ = 0.569 of static friction between a person and the wall, and the radius of the cylinder R = 5.4 m. For simplicity, neglect the person’s depth and assume...
Because of your physics background, you have been hired by an amusement park as the technical consultant for a new ride that is being developed. Patrons get into a roller coaster car that accelerates down a steep incline. On the way down, they go through an artificial “thunderstorm” that involves sprinklers. Your boss wants customers to be subjected to the “rain” for only a short amount of time (0.3 seconds). In addition, the water spraying apparatus has already been built...
You are riding the new rollercoaster Fizzix Phun at your local amusement park. The technician with a mass of 100kg clears your car for 'takeoff'. The rollercoaster car full of people with a mass of 1000 kg is pulled up the initial hill by a lift device. The maintenance stairs up to the top of the hill consists of 11 flights of 30 stairs each wherein a single stair is 10cm high. The drop down the first hill is terrifyingly...

The Sidewinder is a shuttle type steel rollercoaster. The rollercoaster cart starts at the bottom of the frictionless track and is accelerated from a stand still over a distance of 7 meters. Then the cart enters the loop, rises to the top with just enough velocity to keep from stalling at the top of the loop. Gaining velocity the cart finishes the loop, bottoms out, and then rises up the vertical segment of the track. After stalling out at a...
