The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 300 mi/h at the top of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the circle is 1 200 ft. (a) What is the pilots apparent weight at the lowest point if his true weight is 160 lb? (b) What is his apparent weight at the highest point? (c) What If? Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both the radius and the speed can be varied. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body.
In a race like the Indianapolis 500, a driver circles the track counterclockwise and feels his head pulled toward one shoulder. To relieve his neck muscles from having to hold his head erect, the driver fastens a strap to one wall of the car and the other to his helmet. The length of the strap is adjusted to keep his head vertical. (a) Which shoulder does his head tend to lean toward? (b) What force or forces produce the centripetal acceleration when there is no strap? (c) What force or forces do so when there is a strap?
(a) A 22.0 kg child is riding a playground merry-go-round that is rotating at 40.0 rev/min. What centripetal force must she exert to stay on if she is 1.25 m from its center? (b) What centripetal force does she need to stay on an amusement park merry-go-round that rotates at 3.00 rev/min if she is 8.00 m from its center? (c) Compare each force with her weight.
Which of the following is impossible for a car moving in a circular path? Assume that the car is never at rest. (a) The car has tangential acceleration but no centripetal acceleration.

The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 1024 kg, and the mass of the Moon is approximately 7.35 1022 kg. The Moon and the Earth are separated by about 3.84 108 m. a. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth? b. If Serena is on the Moon and her mass is 25 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on Serena due to the Moon? The radius of the Moon is approximately 1.74 106 m.
Banked curves are designed so that the radial component of the normal force on the car rounding the curve provides the centripetal force required to execute uniform circular motion and safely negotiate the curve. A car rounds a banked curve with banking angle = 22.0 and radius of curvature 150 m. a. If the coefficient of static friction between the cars tires and the road is s = 0.400, what is the range of speeds for which the car can safely negotiate the turn without slipping? b. What is the minimum value of s for which the cars minimum safe speed is zero? Note that friction points up the incline here.
A ball of mass m = 0.275 kg swings in a vertical circular path on a string L = 0.850 in long as in Figure P6.31. (a) What are the forces acting on the ball at any point on the path? (b) Draw force diagrams for the ball when it is at the bottom of the circle and when it is at the top. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the top of the circle, what is the tension in the string there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds 22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the ball can have at the bottom before that happens? Figure P6.31

Modem roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown here. 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.

(b) How high above the top of the loop must the roller coaster start from rest, assuming negligible friction? (c) If it actually starts 5.00 m higher than your answer to (b), how much energy did it lose to friction? Its mass is 1.50103kg .
