You have designed a simple roller coaster with the following design:

Where A = 225 m

            B = 70m

            C = 110 m

Cart with passengers: 300 kg

a. Calculate the momentum of the car at points B,C, and on the ground at the end of the roller coaster. Assume that the cart velocity is zero at the top of hill A.

b. When the moving car reaches the ground it collides with a different stationary car on the track that has a mass of 650 kg. Assuming the moving car comes to a stop, and the stationary car rolls forward as a result of the completely elastic collision, was is the velocity of the second car?

c. If the moving car collides with the stationary car in a sticky inelastic collision, what will the velocity of the moving cart pair be?

Suppose a roller-coaster car is moving 31.3 [m/s] at the bottom of the first hill, and has an effective (rolling) friction coefficient 0.01 as it moves along the track. Predict how fast it would be at the top of the next hill, that is 30 [m] higher and 110 [m] farther along the track. This is on Earth, so use  g = 9.81 [N/kg]

A roller coaster starts with a velocity of 16 m/s. One of the riders is a small girl of mass 29 kg. At points B and C, the track is circular with the radii of curvatures of 10 and 20 respectively. The heights at points A, B, and C are hA= 24.4 m, hB = 34.4 m, and hC=0 m. You may assume the track is frictionless. a) Find the velocity of the roller coaster at point B. b) Find...

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster that will carry two passengers per car. The car goes up a 13-m-high hill, then descends 17 m to the track's lowest point. You've determined that the spring can be compressed a maximum of 2.5 m and that a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400 kg . For safety reasons, the spring constant should be 14 % larger than the minimum needed for the car to just...

A roller coaster starts with a velocity of 17 m/s. One of the riders is a small girl of mass 26 kg. Find her apparent weight when the roller coaster is at locations B and C. At these two locations, the track is circular, with the radii of curvature given in the figure. The heights at points A, B, and C are hA = 13 m, hB = 23 m, and hC = 0. Assume friction is negligible and ignore...

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...

Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. A) What is the speed of the roller coaster in m/s at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 11 m and the...
