- A circus motorcycle acrobat is trying to calculate the speed required to perform a loop- the-loop with a motorcycle. The loop has a radius of 10 m. At what speed must the motorcycle enter the loop at the bottom to negotiate a complete loop against gravity, without the use of its engine while in the loop? We do not have enough information. Mass is required. b) More than 20 m/s. c) More than 25 m/s. Exactly 20 m/s. Exactly 25 m/s.arrow_forwardproblem 4arrow_forwardQuestion 1 (3 points) Listen A 2.00kg mass is swung on the end of a rope that is 1.20m long at a speed of 3.00m/s.

- A cellphone steps into a “Graviton” and stands up against the frictionalwall. The Gravitron starts to spin and the floor lowers below the cellphone butthe cellphone does not accelerate downwards, she has no net force vertically. Assume:● The radius of the Gravitron is 7.5 m● The cellphone has a tangential velocityof 15 m/s● The man has mass M Determine: Determine the minimum coe cient of static friction between the wall and the cellphone.arrow_forwardQuestion 3 please show workarrow_forwardThe figure below shows a car traveling in a counterclockwise along a circular path.
