- Consider a roller-coaster car on a track that has a loop of known radius R. If there is no friction between the rollercoaster car and the track, then determine (a) the minimum speed at the top of the loop for the rollercoaster car to still be in contact with the track and (b) the minimum height h the rollercoaster car must start from in order to go all the way around the loop without losing contact with the track (assuming the rollercoaster starts from rest). The only knowns here are R and g, so your symbolic answers need to be in terms of these. Part (a) can be treated using newton's second law and uniform circular motion (even though it's not really uniform). Start with a free-body diagram of a coaster car at the top of the loop. What does it mean for the rollercoaster car to still be "in contact" with the track? Part (b) can be treated using conservation of mechanical energy. You'll need your result from part (a).
