The roller coaster 'Scream' at Six Flags Magic Mountain has a vertical circular loop. After a huge 141 ft drop, you enter the bottom of this loop with a radius of 64.0 ft at the ride's top speed of 64.3 mph. If you have a mass of 56.2 kg, calculate the normal force exerted on you by the seat of the coaster. Express your answer in terms of your weight, mg.

In addition to the remarkable top speed, cheetahs have impressive cornering abilities. In one study, the sideways force on the feet of a 50 kg cheetah, with its claws dug into the ground, was found to be 960 N. What was the radius of the turn if the cheetah was running at 20 m/s?
A motorcyclist in the Globe of Death, pictured here, rides in a 2.2-m-radius vertical loop. To keep control of the bike, the rider wants the normal force on his tires at the top of the loop to equal or exceed his and the bike’s combined weight. What is the minimum speed at which the rider can take the loop?
You have a coin and you put it 20.0 cm from the middle of a spinning, horizontal turntable slips when its speed is 20.0 cm/s. What's the static friction coefficient between the coin and the turntable?

A 0.275-kg object is swung in avertical circular path on a string 0.850 mlong as in Figure P7.70. (a) What arethe forces acting on the ball at any pointalong this path? (b) Draw free-body diagramsfor the ball when it is at the bottomof the circle and when it is at thetop. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the topof the circle, what is the tension in thestring there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the object can have at thebottom before the string breaks?
The speed of a 200-g toy car at the bottom of a vertical circular portion of track is 7.25 m/s. If the radius of curvature of this portion of the track is 52.5 cm, what are the magnitude and direction of the force the track exerts on the car? (Assume the car's path is in the clockwise direction.)
In the figure, a stuntman drives a car (without negative lift) over the top of a hill, the cross section of which can be approximated by a circle of radius R = 284 m. What is the greatest speed at which he can drive without the car leaving the road at the top of the hill?
The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has adiameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which canfunction as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s). What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero?
A little toy car is powered by a CO2 cartridge that produces a thrust force according to the following function: Fthrust(t) = 6.0N e-0.2t. The car also has a friction coefficient of 0.05 due to the wheels and bearings. If the car's mass is 1.2kg, and the car travels in the +x direction, what will it's acceleration function look like as a function of time? If it starts from rest, what will vx(t) be? How fast will the car be going after 3.0s? What maximum speed will be reached by the car?
A car is traveling around a circular portion of road banked at an incline of 35 degrees to the horizonal.
