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 at other places on the track.

Part A Explain why this shape gives a more comfortable ride than a circular loop. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. decreases The radius of the loop decreases as the carts enter and exit the loop. The centripetal acceleration is maximum for larger radius loops and ___________ for smaller radius loops. minimum This means the centripetal acceleration ___________ from a ___________ at the entry to the loop to larger a __________ at the top of the loop and then __________ as the cars exit the loop. This prevents a sudden change of acceleration, which can be painful. increases portion of the trip This also limits the largest accelerations to the top of the loop, so that riders experience the maximum acceleration for ___________ . a whole trip smaller
My answers were: LARGER, SMALLER, INCREASES,MINIMUM,DECREASES,MAXIMUM,PORTION OF TRIP---THIS IS WRONG!!!
I ALSO TRIED SMALLER,LARGER, INCREASES,MINIMUM,DECREASES,MAXIMUM,PORTION OF TRIP
Answers are :
smaller <------ as the Radius decreases the centripetal acceleration decreases
increases <------- due to smaller radius
portion of trip
larger <----- radius is maximum
minimum portion of trip

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...

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...

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 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...
Problem 1: Looping. The looping of a roller coaster has the radius R. The roller coaster starts at rest in height H over the deepest point of the looping (as shown in the figure). Neglect friction and consider the roller coaster as a mass point of mass m. Q.1) Express the total energy of the body. The reference point for the potential energy is at the center of the loop. Q.2) Find the speed of the body at the top...
