A Dangerous Ride. You and your exploration team are stuck on a steep slope in the Andes Mountains in Argentina. A deadly winter storm is approaching and you must get down the mountain before the storm hits. Your path leads you around an extremely slippery, horizontal curve with a diameter of 80.0 m and banked at an angle of 40.0° relative to the horizontal. You get the idea to unpack the toboggan that you have been using to haul supplies, load your team upon it, and ride it down the mountain to get enough speed to get around the banked curve. You must be extremely careful, however, not to slide down the bank: at the bottom of the curve is a steep cliff.
(a) Neglecting friction and air resistance, what must be the speed of your toboggan in order to get around the curve without sliding up or down its bank? Express your answer in m/s and m.p.h.
(b) You will need to climb up the mountain and ride the toboggan down in order to attain the speed you need to safely navigate the curve (from part (a)). The mountain slope leading into the curve is at an angle of 30.0° relative to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the toboggan and the surface of the slope is (μmountain = 0.17). How far up the mountain (distance along the slope, not elevation) from the curve should you start your ride? Note: the path down the mountain levels off at the bottom so that the toboggan enters the curve moving in the horizontal plane (i.e., in the same plane as the curve).

Imagine that you're sledding alone down a steep hill on a toboggan and that you left the top of the hill at the same time as an identical toboggan, loaded with 4 people. a. Which toboggan will reach the bottom of the hill first? b. If you took a toboggan down a 2% grade slope, for a 1000 foot run, and then you took the toboggan down a steeper route of 15% grade down the hill, how would that affect...

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...
