The passengers in a roller coaster car feel 50% heavier than their true weight as the car goes through a dip with a 30 m radius of curvature.
What is the cars speed at the bottom of the dip?
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?
A 0.5-kg ball is attached to a string and whirled around in a circle overhead. The string breaks if the force on it exceeds 82 N. What is the maximum speed the ball can have when the radius of the circle is 1 m?

Note that g here is the acceleration due to gravity. The beginning of this roller coaster is at the top of a high hill. If it started from rest at the top of this hill, how high, in meters, above the top of the loop is this initial starting point? You may assume there is no friction anywhere on the track.
