A solid 0.4750 kg ball rolls without slipping down a track toward a vertical loop of radius R = 0.7350 m. What minimum translational speed Umin must the ball have when it is a height H = 1.111 m above the bottom of the loop in order to complete the loop without falling off the track? Assume that the radius of the ball itself is much smaller 9.810 m/s? for the than the loop radius R. Use g = acceleration due to gravity.

While driving his motorcycle at highway speed, a physics student notices that pulling back lightly on the right handlebar tips the cycle to the left and produces a left turn. Explain why this happens.
An ice skater is preparing for a jump with turns and has his arms extended. His moment of inertia is 1.8kgm2 while his arms are extended, and he is spinning at 0.5 rev/s. If he launches himself into the air at 9.0 m/s at an angle of 45 with respect to the ice, how many revolutions can he execute while airborne if his moment of inertia in the air is 0.5kgm2 ?
A gymnast does cartwheels along the floor and then launches herself into the air and executes several flips in a tuck while she is airborne. If her moment of inertia when executing the cartwheels is 13.5kgm2 and her spin rate is 0.5 rev/s, how many revolutions does she do in the air if her moment of inertia in the tuck is 3.4kgm2 and she has 2.0 s to do the flips in the air?
