A skateboarder is attempting to skate through a vertical loop of radius r = 7.5 m. He skates down a ramp and is launched into the loop by an inclined plane that makes an angle of θ = 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
a. If the skateboarder begins from rest how high does the ramp he starts from have to be so that he does not fall at the top of the loop? Give your answer in meters.

The track comes in segments that can be connected together. One thing you can do is make the cars Loop the Loop, as shown in the figure above. Starting at a height, h, the cars race down the track, traverse a circular loop of radius, R, without falling down at the top of the loop, and then continue racing along a section of level track. If the loop is 9 inches in diameter, what is the minimum height, h, from which the cars can start and still loop the loop without falling down at the top? Neglect friction and air resistance.arrow_forward

- Here in Columbus, we're living through a heat wave with an expected heat index of 110 degrees today. At home, you turn on a fan to cool off, and the fan blades speed up (the fan was off before you touched it). If the fan blades reach their top speed in exactly 6.5 seconds, and the acceleration of the fan blades is 2.7 rad/s², what is the top speed in rpm? Your Answer: units Answerarrow_forwardDuring the spin cycle of a washing machine, the clothes stick to the outer wall of the barrel as it spins at a rate as high as 1800 revolutions per minute. The radius of the barrel is 26 cm (0.26 m). a. Determine the speed of the clothes (in m/s) that are located on the wall of the spin barrel. b. Determine the acceleration of the clothes, and select the appropriate units for acceleration.arrow_forwardOver the holiday break you have an internship with an ice skating show. An ice skater will start from rest and slide down an ice-covered ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the skater will glide around an ice-covered loop which is the inside of a vertical circle before emerging out onto the skating rink floor. For a spectacular effect, the circular loop will have a diameter of 30 feet. Your task is to determine the minimum height from the rink floor to the top of the ramp for the skater to make it around the loop. When barely making it around, the skater briefly loses contact with the ice at the top of the loop.arrow_forward
- Since March 2006, NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been in a circular orbit at an altitude of 316 km around Mars (Fig. P6.81).
