Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure. 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. Part (a) What is the speed of the roller coaster, in meters per second, at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.3g? Note that g here is the acceleration due to gravity. Part (b) The beginning of this roller coaster is at the top of a high hill. If it started from rest at the top of this hill, how high, in meters, above the top of the loop is this initial starting point? You may assume there is no friction anywhere on the track. Part (c) If it actually starts 3.5 m higher than your answer to the previous part (yet still reaches the top of the loop with the same velocity), how much energy, in joules, did it lose…

Pulleys and ropes are massless and frictionless. The coefficient of static friction between the mass m2 and the surface is µ(s) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is µ(k). The velocity of the mass m2 is V2 and the acceleration is a2. Give your answer in terms of (Ɵ, m1, m2, g, µ(s), µ(k) and V2). Find a2 for V2>0. Hint: m1*a1=2*T-m1*g m2*a2=-T-cosƟ*m*g*µ(k) 2*x1=x2 => 2*a1=a2

When a volleyball coach releases a volleyball from a height of 2 m above the gym floor, it falls to the floor and bounces back to two-thirds the same height. When it is in contact with the floor, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is 1 cm. (Assume the positive direction is upward.)1. Determine the acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while it is in contact with the floor and compressing. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 2. Determine the velocity of the ball (in m/s) as it leaves the floor on the rebound. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 3. What If? If instead of dropping the ball, the coach throws it down (from some unknown height) with such a speed that it bounces back up to a height three times its original height, determine the new acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while in contact with the floor and expanding. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
