G12 Physics 276.2

The Physics of the Looping Roller Coaster: (a) " Q Q height height (b) (a) Draw an FBD for a rider on the rollercoaster at the TOP of the loop for the circular loop at left above: (b) Based on the FBD, write a mathematical expression for the NET force (or SUM of the forces that act) on the object to provide the centripetal acceleration, using the form of Newton's 2nd Law: (c) For a circular rollercoaster loop of radius 10 m, calculate the speed necessary such that the magnitude of the normal force felt by a rider of mass m at the top of the loop is double his or her own weight, mg. (This means that the normal force has a magnitude of 2mg.):
