Question
A section of track for a roller coaster consists of two circular arcs ABC and CD joined by a straight portion BC. The radius of AB is 27 m and the radius of CD is 72 m. The car and its occupants, of total mass 250 kg, reach point A with practically no velocity and then drop freely along the track. Determine the normal force exerted by the track on the car as the car reaches point B . Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance.

- : A pilot in a fast jet aircraft loops the loop. The radius of the loop is 400 m, and the aircraft has a speed of 150 m/s when it passes through the bottom of the loop. What is the apparent weight that the pilot feels; in other words, what is the force with which she presses against her chair? Express the answer as a multiple of her normal weightarrow_forwardQ3. One ball of mass m = 0.7 kg is being swung in the vertical, circular path with radius of r = 2.3 m. At the instant shown, the ball is moving at a speed of v = 5.8 m/s. Determine the tension force in the cable OA. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 2 places after the decimal point, and proper Sl unit. Take g = 9.81 m/s². Your Answer: Answer A 45° unitsarrow_forwardA space shuttle is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 103 mi. Calculate the absolute value of g at this altitude and determine the corresponding weight of a shuttle passenger who weighs 165 lb when standing on the surface of the earth at a latitude of 45°. Are the terms "zero-g" and "weightless," which are sometimes used to describe conditions aboard orbiting spacecraft, correct in the absolute sense? Answers: ft/sec² Sh lb Wh= iarrow_forward
- Block A (m = 5 kg), seen in the figure, sits on a smooth surface and is attached by a slender rod to a ball-and-socket joint at B. If the moment and force shown are simultaneously applied to the block, what will the speed of the block be after 4 seconds (starting from rest)?arrow_forwardDefine the term Zero slope?arrow_forwardPr4. Two bodies are launched at the same time from two points A and B located at the same height. The distance between points A and B is d. One of the bodies starts from point A upwards with speed v1, while the other starts from point B towards point A with initial speed v2. What will be the minimal distance between the bodies during their motion? (The gravitational acceleration is g, neglect the air drag. The bodies do not reach the ground before the moment of the minimal distance.)arrow_forward
- Answer both questions please!arrow_forwardThe three masses in the figure are different. The planes do not have friction with the masses and the plane of mass 3 corresponds to a quarter of a circumference. All three masses are released at the same time. The masses m2 and m3 travel the same distance. The first mass that will reach the bottom of the ramp will be: m1 m2 m3 m2 and m3 m1 and m2 m1 and m3 they will all arrive at the same timearrow_forwardThe 0.31-kg mass slides on a frictionless wire that lies in the vertical plane. The spring attached to the mass has a free length of 80 mm and stiffness of 0.13 N/mm. Calculate the smallest value of the distance b so that the mass will reach the end of the wire at B after being released from rest at A.arrow_forward
