At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders “plastered” against the wall. Suppose the radius of the room is 8.346 m and the coefficient of friction between the rider and the wall is 0.13, what is the minimum the safe speed of the wall for the rider not to drop when the floor falls away. Use g=9.8 m/s2.

A matchbox car track begins at a height y=1.0, goes down hill to y=0, goes around a vertical loop of radius 0.2 m and then goes back up a smaller hill to end at a height y=0.3 m. The speed of the car at the end of the track is closest to which value?
A small block with mass 0.0450kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600m on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point A, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.85N. In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point B, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.660N. How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B?
A racetrack has the shape of an inverted cone, as the drawing shows. On this surface the cars race in circles that are parallel to the ground. For a speed of 47.5 m/s, at what value of the distance d should a driver locate his car if he wishes to stay on a circular path without depending on friction?
Ar a circus, a stunt rider is going to do a Loop-de-Loop. The radius of the circular part of the track is 8.13m. The mass of the motorcycle and the rider is 318kg. What is the minimum speed the motorcycle must have to just make it around the loop without falling?
A small block with mass 0.0300 kgkg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.425 mm on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point AA, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.90 NN . In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point BB, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.675 NN . 1)How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point AA to point BB?
A new roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. -If the radius of the loop is R=13.2 m, with what minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top? Assume the rider is not strapped to the car. -Find the minimum H value?
A roller coaster has a circular loop with a diameter (height) of 39 meters. When the coaster is upside down at the top of the loop, what is the minimum speed it must be traveling so that the passengers do not fall out?
One model for a certain planet has a core of radius R and mass M surrounded by an outer shell of inner radius R, outer radius 2R, and mass 4M. If M= 4.1 * 1024 kg and R = 6.0 *106 m, what is the gravitational acceleration of a particle at points (a) R and (b) 3R from the center of the planet?
An amusing trick is to press a finger down on a marble on a horizontal table top, in such a way that the marble is projected along the table with an initial linear speed v and an initial backward rotational speed ω about a horizontal axis perpendicular to v. The coefficient of sliding friction between marble and top is constant. The marble has radius R. If the marble skids to a stop and then starts returning toward its initial position, with a final constant speed of 0.620v, what was ω in terms of v and R? Hint for part (b): When the marble rolls without slipping, the relationship between speed and angular speed is v = ωR.
A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P6.68. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle h that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical, (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle's rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a), (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem.
