5.0 kg particle can slide along a track with elevated ends and a flat central part, as
shown in Figure. The flat part has length L = 12.0 m. The curved portions of the
track are frictionless, but for the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is Hx =
0.20. The particle is released from rest at point A, which is a height h = 2 m above
the flat part of the track. Where does the particle finally stop?

- A roller-coaster car shown in Figure P7.82 is released from rest from a height h and then moves freely with negligible friction. The roller-coaster track includes a circular loop of radius R in a vertical plane. (a) First suppose the car barely makes it around the loop; at the top of the loop, the riders are upside down and feel weightless. Find the required height h of the release point above the bottom of the loop in terms of R. (b) Now assume the release point is at or above the minimum required height. Show that the normal force on the car at the bottom of the loop exceeds the normal force at the top of the loop by six times the cars weight. The normal force on each rider follows the same rule. Such a large normal force is dangerous and very uncomfortable for the riders. Roller coasters are therefore not built with circular loops in vertical planes. Figure P5.22 (page 149) shows an actual design.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 34.0 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 31.5 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance.arrow_forwardbox with mass m goes down a ramp that makes an angle of 60 º with the horizontal. The ramp bands together to a flat section and then onto a circle track of radius R that ends where it's vertical. box is released from rest at a distance 3R above the horizontal and leaves the track at point A. all surfaces are frictionless.

The size of the package is much less than 1.60 m, so the package can be treated as a particle. It slides down the track and reaches point B with a speed of 4.80 m/s. From point B, it slides on a level surface a distance of 3.00 m to point C, where it comes to rest. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface? (b) How much work is done on the package by friction as it slides down the circular arc from A to B?arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a block of mass 0.5 kg moving on the inside surface of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1 m. The block has a speed vB = when it is at point B at the bottom of the circular track. The track is not smooth and a force of kinetic friction 12 m/s of magnitude 7.0 N acts on the block while it slides around the track. The frictional force on the block is always tangent to the track. Find the speed of the block when it is at point T at the top of the track. (Hint: the circumference of the circular track is 2nR.) T R® Barrow_forward
- A block with mass m is placed on the top of a smooth cline. The cline is h=4.3m high. The block is released from the cline and the moves across a horizontal surface. The region of the horizontal surface between A and B is tough and the kinetic friction coefficient is u = 0.47 and the distance between A and B is 0.6 meters. The remained region of the horizontal surface is smooth. Then the block goes to a quarter circle with radius R = 2.1m, The quarter circle is also smooth.
