As a skater forms a circle, what force is responsible for making her turn? Use a free body diagram in your answer.
Jeanine, who has a mass of 45 kg, rode a roller coaster through a loop with a
radius of 35 km . Assume the roller coaster maintained a constant speed of
48m/s.
Draw a free-body diagram of the scenario below. Include the forces at the:
• top
• bottom
• sides
On the ride “Spindletop” at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cylinder with radius 2.5 m. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.60 rev/s, the floor dropped about 0.5 m. The people remained pinned against the wall without touching the floor. (a) Draw a force diagram for a person on this ride after the floor has dropped. (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction was required for the person not to slide downward to the new position of the floor? (c) Does your answer in part (b) depend on the person’s mass? (Note: When such a ride is over, the cylinder is slowly brought to rest. As it slows down, people slide down the wall to the floor.)

- You are a forensic scientists and have called to examine skid marks at a crime scene after a car locked its brakes during emergency breaking, and the car slid along the road. There are ripped off bits of tire and small melted sections of thje road for the skid marks that are 290m long. Assuming that the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.60, you must determine how fast the car was going when the wheels became locked. (Start by drawing a free body diagram for the decelerating car).arrow_forwardA car is traveling at a speed of 120 km/h and attempts to take a turn. The coefficient of friction of the tires on the dry asphalt is 0.90. Determine the difference in the radius of the turn if the road is horizontal or banked at 20º into the turn (but the car is still turning on the horizontal plane).
