)A roller-coaster car may be represented by a block of mass 50.0 kg . The car is released from rest at a height h = 45.0 m above the ground and slides along a frictionless track. The car encounters a loop of radius R = 15.0 m at ground level, as shown. As you will learn in the course of this problem, the initial height 45.0 m is great enough so that the car never loses contact with the track.Find the kinetic energy K of the car at the top of the loop.Find the minimum initial height hmin at which the car can be released that still allows the car to stay in contact with the track at the top of the loop.

2) Two frictionless roller-coaster cars sit atop identical roller coaster tracks. The two roller-coasters meet at the bottom to form a single continuous roller-coaster track. The more massive car has mass M, the less massive has mass m. Neglect air resistance. a) If the two cars are released simultaneously from rest, describe in words where the two cars collide. b) If when they collide, the two cars stick together, calculate the highest height the two cars will ultimately reach after...

suppose you start a roller coaster car at the top of a hill with a height of 70 m and go around a loop- the- loop that has its bottom at ground level and has a radius of 15 m. If you weigh 70 kg. Calculate how heavy you will feel a.at the top of the loop b. at one of the sides of the loop Remember, the weight you feel is the normal force.

You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass of 120 kg . One part of the track is a vertical loop with a radius of 12.0 m . At the bottom of the loop (point A) the car has a speed of 25.0 m/s and at the top of the loop (point B) it has speed of 8.00 m/s . As the car rolls from point A to point B, how much...

A 0.20-kg block slides from rest down a frictionless track from a height of 1.5 m, and encounters a loop that is 1.0 m high. (a) What is the speed of the block at the top of the loop? (b) The block is slowed by a spring at the bottom of the track. If the stiffness of the spring is 0.90 kN/m, how far does the block slide before coming to rest?

A mass m = 86 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.7 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (19.7 m off the ground). Since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why?) it must be released above the top of the...
