4.
A roller coaster car with its three passengers (a total of 450. kg) is pulled up
to the top of a 30.0 meter hill where it is released at a speed of 1.00 meter per second to
begin its hurtle down the track toward a 15.0 meter diameter loop the loop at the bottom.
Unfortunately the maintenance crew still has some work to do on the old rusty roller
coaster track and the average frictional force on the 65.0 meter long angled descent is 595
N. Luckily the loop the loop portion of the roller coaster track has been recently
polished and Teflon coated to reduce friction to practically nothing. What will be the
speed of the car at the top of the loop the loop, and will this be enough to have the car
stay on the track all the way round the loop?
