Question

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 19.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g? mys Supporting Materials Physical Constants

Answer 1

1)

Acceleration, a = 1.5 g = 1.5 x 9.8 = 14.7 m/s^2

Acceleration, a = v^2/r

Velocity, v = sqrt(ar)

v = sqrt(14.7 x 19)

Velocity, v = 16.71 m/s
