Chapter 5, Problem 41P
Riders on the “Great American Revolution” loop-the-loop roller coaster of Example 5.7 wear seatbelts as the roller coaster negotiates its 6.3-m-radius loop at 9.7 m/s. At the top of the loop, what are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a 60-kg rider (a) by the roller-coaster seat and (b) by the seatbelt? (c) What would happen if the rider unbuckled at this point?

To keep the forces on the riders within allowable limits, many loop-the-loop roller coaster rides are designed so that the loop is not a perfect circle but instead has a larger radius of curvature at the bottom than at the top. Explain.
Which answer below is closest to the magnitude of the normal force that the idealized in-run exerts on the 60-kg skier?
The 2010 Olympic ski jumping competition was held at Whistler Mountain near Vancouver. During a jump, a skier starts near the top of the in-run, the part down which the skier glides at increasing speed before the jump. The Whistler in-run is 116 m long and for the first part is tilted down at about 35° below the horizontal. There is then a curve that transitions into a takeoff ramp, which is tilted 11° below the horizontal. The skier flies off this ramp at high speed, body tilted forward and skis separated (Figure 4.15). This position exposes a large surface area to the air, which creates lift, extends the time of the jump, and allows the jumper to travel farther. In addition, the skier pushes off the exit ramp of the in-run to get a vertical component of velocity when leaving the ramp. The skier lands 125 m or more from the end of the in-run. The landing surface has…
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?

- A 63.0 kgkg parachutist falling vertically at a speed of 6.50 m/sm/s hits the ground, which brings him to a complete stop in a distance of 0.87 mm (roughly half of his height). 1) Assuming constant acceleration after his feet first touch the ground, what is the average force exerted on the parachutist by the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA parachutist (mass, m = 85 kg including parachute) has an initial velocity, v0 = 52.8 ms-1, immediately after the parachute opens. The drag force provided the parachute varies as a function of velocity, such that Fd = kv2 where k = 13.7 kg/m.
