A circus motorcycle acrobat is trying to calculate the speed required to perform a loop- the-loop with a motorcycle. The loop has a radius of 10 m. At what speed must the motorcycle enter the loop at the bottom to negotiate a complete loop against gravity, without the use of its engine while in the loop? We do not have enough information. Mass is required. b) More than 20 m/s. c) More than 25 m/s. Exactly 20 m/s. Exactly 25 m/s.
Consider an annular disk rolling down an inclined plane. The annular disk has mass 154 [g], inner radius 8.00 [cm] and outer radius 12.0 [cm]. The inclined plane has a slope that forms an angle of 44.6° with the ground. A. Suppose that the coefficient of static friction ?s is large enough so that the annular disk rolls without slipping. What is the magnitude of the translation acceleration felt by the annular disk's center of mass in the direction parallel to the slope? B. What is the minimum value that the coefficient of static friction ?s must take so that the annular disk rolls without slipping?
A 2,191 kg roller coaster cart goes 14.97 m/s at the top of a vertical circular loop of 20 m radius. There is no friction. What would the magnitude of the normal force on the cart be when it is moving straight down (20 m from the bottom) in N?
Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown. 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. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?

In 1959, Daytona Speed was added to the NASCAR racing circuit and introduced 31° banked curves for racing. This allowed stock cars to reach much higher speeds (around 200 mph) during a race. Today the steepest banked curves are found at Talladega Motor Speed Way at 33° with a turn radius of 1100 ft. The flattest track in NASCAR is Hew Hampshire Motor Speed Way with banked curves of 7° with a turn radius of 410 ft. a) Assuming no friction, what are the max speeds (in mph) without slipping toward the outer edge of the track at the Talladega and NH Motor Speedways? b) With friction (assume μs of 1.1 between the tires and the track)?
