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 70 kg secret agent skis down a hill and grabs a 200 kg bag then flies off a 12 m high cliff. The hill can be considered a 1/4 of a circle with a radius of 20 m. The initial mechanical energy of the agent at the top of the hill is 14,560 J relative to the location of the bag. his initial apparent weight is 2521 .4 N and initial velocity is 22.9 m/s D) how far from the base of the cliff does the agent land? Assume the resistance is negligible. E) Assume that the agent in his bag come to rest upon colliding with the ground at the base of the cliff. What is an impulse that he in the bag experiences? Estimate the resulting contact force on the agent. Discuss the likelihood of his living through the collision
A roller coaster goes around a vertical loop that has a diameter of 40 m. What is the minimum speed that the roller coaster car must go at the top of the loop to stay on track? (the total mass is 600 kg) (
A small block of mass m=.5kg is fire with an initial speed of v0 = 4m/s alog a horizontal section of frictionless track. The block then moves along the frictionless, smicircular, vertical tracks of radius R= 1.5m a) Determine the force exerted by the track on the block at points A, middle of the semicircle, and B, end of the semicircle. b) The bottom of the track consists of a section (L = .4m) wit friction. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and that portion of the bottom track if the block just makes it up to the top track on the first trip around.( Hint: If the block makes it to the top track, the force of contact exerted by the track on the block at that point is zero.)
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 3.122 m and the coefficient of friction between the rider and the wall is 0.47, 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.
How fast would you need to fire a 80 g Hot Wheels car down a straight track in order for it to successfully coast through a circular vertical loop of track with a radius of 30 cm? Draw a diagram and construct a force balance to determine your answer?
A tobogganer coasts down a hill and then goes over a slight rise with speed 2.7 m/s. The top of this rise can be taken to be a circle of radius 4.1m. The toboggan and occupant have a combined mass of 110 kg. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the toboggan is 0.10, what frictional force is exerted on the toboggan by the snow as the toboggan goes over the top of the rise? Start with a free-body diagram of the toboggan with the person inside, at the top of the rise. (Use gg = 9.8 m/s2) Express your answer using two significant figures.

A small block with mass m = 17 kg slides on a frictionless track from some initial height through a loop-the-loop with radius R = 6.9 m and then along a flat straight section at the height R/2 above the ground. Assume the block never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path and the track is frictionless What is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? At what height above the ground must the block begin from rest to make it around the loop-the-loop? It turns out that engineers who designed the loop-the-loop didn’t really know physics – when they made the ride, the initial height was only as high as the top of the loop-the- loop. To account for this honest mistake, they decided to give the block an initial velocity right at the beginning. How fast do they need to push the block at the beginning (now at a height equal to the top of the loop-the-loop) to get it around the loop-the-loop…
Consider the mechanical energy of a body at rest on the ground at the Earth's equator, at re= 6400 km Consider the mechanical energy of the same body at rest on the ground at the South pole, at re = 6400 km. For this problem, we consider the Earth to be spherical. (Remember, the object at the equator traces a circular path, the object at the Pole does not.) G = 6.67 × 10−11 Nm2 kg−2, and the mass of the Earth is M = 5.97 × 1024 kg. How much more mechanical energy per kilogram does an object on the ground at the Equator than on the ground at the Pole? E = ___ MJ.kg−1. (2 sig figs, do not use scientific notation)
