55. ssm A roller coaster at an amusement park has a dip that bottoms out in a vertical circle of radius r. A passenger feels the seat of the car pushing upward on her with a force equal to twice her weight as she goes through the dip. If r = 20.0 m, how fast is the roller coaster traveling at the bottom of the dip?

For the normal force in the drawing to have the same magnitude at all points on the vertical track, the stunt driver must adjust the speed to be different at different points. Suppose, for example, that the track has a radius of 2.24 m and that the driver goes past point 1 at the bottom with a speed of 28.3 m/s. What speed must she have at point 3, so that the normal force at the top has the same magnitude as it did at the bottom?
QUESTION 1 A boy takes a 2.0-kg rock and ties it to the end of a light, uniform, 0.80-m-long rope. He then grabs the other end of the rope and swings the rock in a vertical circle. If he imparts a tension of 20 N to the rope as he swings the rock over the top of the circular motion, what will be the speed of the rock at the very top of the motion? Assume that g = 9.8 m/s2. а. 2.0 m/s b. 6.0 m/s C. 5.0 m/s d. 4.0 m/s е. 3.0 m/s
A 2000 kg roller coaster car is traveling upside down at 18 m/s as passes the top of a 24 m radius loop. Determine the force that the roller coaster car exerts on the track of the loop at this point.
Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 22.0 m as in the figure below. If the car travels at 27.4 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump? What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point?
circle. Ezra swings the ball so that it always has constant speed of v = 4.82 m/s. The radius of the swing is r = 0.787 m and Ezra's hand is H = 1.40 m above the ground as shown. y H
*46. Go mmh A stone is tied to a string (length = 1.10 m) and whirled in a circle at the same constant speed in two different ways. First, the circle is horizontal and the string is nearly parallel to the ground. Next, the circle is vertical. In the vertical case the maximum tension in the string is 15.0% larger than the tension that exists when the circle is horizontal. Determine the speed of the stone.
Problem 6: A car with mass m = 1000 kg is traveling around a circular curve of radius r = 840 m when it begins to rain. The coefficients of static friction between the road and tires is ug = 0.63 when dry and uw = 0.29 when wet.
A roller coaster has a circular loop with a diameter (height) of 39 meters. When the coaster is upside down at the top of the loop, what is the minimum speed it must be traveling so that the passengers do not fall out?
A ball is on the end of a string. The ball is being swung in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The length of the string is 1.25 m. The mass of the ball is 2.10 kg. The maximum tension the string can withstand is 61.0 N. What is the max speed of the ball without breaking the string when the ball is at the top of the circle (point a)?

For the normal force in the drawing to have the same magnitude at all points on the vertical track, the stunt driver must adjust the speed to be different at different points. Suppose, for example, that the track has a radius of 2.23 m and that the driver goes past point 1 at the bottom with a speed of 24.0 m/s. What speed must she have at point 3, so that the normal force at the top has the same magnitude as it did at the bottom?
