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.
An 800kg roller coaster traveling at 10m/s is 80m above the bottom of the track. a. How fast is the roller coaster car traveling at the bottom of the hill? b. How fast is the roller coaster car traveling at the top of the loop?
