Chapter 8, Problem 25EAP
A 500 g ball moves in a vertical circle on a 102-cm-long string. If the speed at the top is 4.0 m/s, then the speed at the bottom will be 7.5 m/s. (You'll learn how to show this in Chapter 10.)
a. What is the gravitational force acting on the ball?
b. What is the tension in the string when the ball is at the top?
c. What is the tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom?

A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h1. After the bottom of this hill there is a small “jump” hill. The top of the jump has height h2 and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, h1min, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or “catches air” at the top of hill 2? Solve for h1min in terms of h2, R, and g. Hint: if the skier/snowboarder jumps, he/she/they loose contact with the snowy ground.
