A small object of mass m starts at rest at the upper left end of a curved frictionless track that contains a circular loop of radius R. What is the smallest value of y that will allow the object to reach the top of the circular loop as shown below? (Hint: the object will just lose contact with the track.)

YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE QUESTION (with parts a,b.c) ON AN EMPTY PAPER prepared on the Attendance Part. QUESTION: A very small block of mass m= 0.3 kg is released from rest at point A at a height h= 2.3 m above the ground. It slides down the track as shown in the figure. It reaches point B with speed V= 3.8 m/s. Frorm point B it slides on a horizontal surface a distance d= 1.2 m to point C which is at the bottom of a vertical circular loop of radius R= 16 cm. The circular section of the track (C to D to E) is frictionless but for the remaining section (A to B to C) there is friction. 3. a) Calculate the AE,, (change in thermal energy) for the system between points A and B. b) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface (between B and C) is Hk Calculate u, so that the force on the block by the track at point D is equal to 2mg. c) Find the minimum speed V, with which the block must pass through point C, if it is just not to fall off at the top (point E)…

m = 325 kg h1 = 19.5 m h2 = 4.7 m A roller coaster car of mass m is rolling down the track, starting from rest, as shown in the figure. The initial height from the ground is h1 (Position-1), while the final height is h2 (Position-3). The system has no friction. What is the speed of the car when it reaches its final height (Position-3).
Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass m: object 1 has mass 4.60m, object 2 has mass 2.21m, and object 3 has mass m. When the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. If the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. Each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Enter only the numerical coefficient. (Example: If the answer is 1.23mgd, just enter 1.23) This potential energy was calculated relative to the bottom of the stairs. If you were to redefine the reference height such that the total potential energy of the system became zero, how high…

A child stands on a bank beside a pond, grasps the end of a 20.0 m long rope attached to a nearby tree and swings out to drop into the water. When the rope makes an angle of 15.0⁰ with the vertical, the child's speed is 5.00 m/s. a) At what point in the swing does the child's maximum speed occur? b) What is the child's maximum speed? Ignore all frictional effects. c) Assuming the child started from rest, what angle did the rope initially make with respect to the vertical?
