Answer to Problem 11.48AP
After the passing point B, there is no torque about the axis of the channel act on him so; the angular momentum will be constant, but his legs convert the chemical energy into mechanical energy and the kinetic energy of his body is not constant.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The mass of particle is
A skateboarder passes the point B, so there is no tangential force acts on him because the wheels on the skate prevent this force. The torque is zero due to no tangential force, so the angular momentum will be constant.
The kinetic energy increase because his legs convert chemical energy into mechanical energy and the kinetic energy will not be constant. While the normal force rises trajectory to enhance his linear momentum.

Therefore, after the passing point B, there is no torque about the axis of the channel act on him so; the angular momentum will be constant, but his legs convert the chemical energy into mechanical energy and the kinetic energy of his body is not constant.

- A skate park is formed by two semicircles of radius R1 = 8.3 m and R2 = 1.0 m and a flat central part, as shown in the following figure. The flat part has a length L = 3.6 m. The semicircles are tangent to the horizontal in B and C and to the vertical in A and D. There is no friction in the curved parts and in the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is μC = 0.2. A block with mass m = 3.2 kg is dropped from A. Suppose the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m / s2. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the block as it passes through point B the second time? Choose one: a. 45,4 m/sb.

A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d, as in Figure P7.74. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.5 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is k = 0.30 and that the length of AB is 2.5 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.
