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 sitting on a bathroom scale that initially reads W (when the coaster is horizontal and at rest). What will the scale read when the coaster is moving past the top of the loop? (You can assume that the coaster rolls on the track without friction)

An engineer is designing a roller coaster for an amusement park. It is required that when the car goes over the top of a curved vertical section of trackat 6.0 m s 1 passengers feel "weightless" - that is, they feel they are "floating" out of their seats. 4 Draw a diagram that shows the forces acting on a passenger at the top of the track. (a) (b) Calculate the radius of curvature needed for this section of track.

A roller coaster has a “hump” and a “loop” for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 12 m and the loop has a radius of curvature of 15 m. (a) When going over the hump, the coaster is traveling with a speed of 9.0 m/s. A 100-kg rider is traveling on the coaster. What is the normal force of the rider’s seat on the rider when he is at the...

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...

You are designing the section of a roller coaster ride shown in the figure. Previous sections of the ride give the train a speed of 16.1 m/s at the top of the incline, which is 37.1 m above the ground. As any good engineer would, you begin your design with safety in mind. Your local government's safety regulations state that the riders' centripetal acceleration should be no more than n 1.69 g at the top of the hump and no...

A certain roller coaster design uses a vertical loop of radius 7.248 m. Assuming that the roller coaster remains on the track, what is the minimum speed of a car at the top of the loop? (HINT: In general, the centripetal force is the vector sum of the car's weight w and the normal force N exerted by the tracks. The value of N varies with the speed. The minimum value of N is zero, which occurs when the roller...

Variation in your apparent weight is desirable when you ride a roller coaster; it makes the ride fun. However, too much variation over a short period of time can be painful. For this reason, the loops of real roller coasters are not simply circles like (Figure 1) . A typical loop is shown in(Figure 2) . The radius of the circle that matches the track at the top of the loop is much smaller than that of a matching circle...
