A block with some mass m is connected to a string that is attached to the ceiling. The block on the end of the string is going around a circular path with a constant radius r and constant speed.

A 2-kilogram block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R. The block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest 8 meters from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is an 8-newton force of friction on the block while it slides horizontally. Assume g = 10 meters per second2. a) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block while it slides along the horizontal plane. b) What time elapses while the block is sliding horizontally? c) Calculate the radius of the incline in meters.

Problem 2: Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails, so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road. b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal? c) Repeat part b for the the friction force d) How fast can Peach take the turn without flying or falling off the track?
