A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1110kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius 22m, its speed is constant at 8m/s. What is the maximum possible speed the roller-coaster can travel without losing contact with the track at the top of the hill?
A 0.1 kg ball is attached to a string and whirled around in a circle overhead. The string breaks if the force on it exceeds 60 N. What is the maximum speed the ball can have when the radius of the circle is 1 m?
Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?
A 0.5-kg ball is attached to a string and whirled around in a circle overhead. The string breaks if the force on it exceeds 82 N. What is the maximum speed the ball can have when the radius of the circle is 1 m?
When a fighter pilot makes a very quick turn, he experiences a centripetal acceleration. When this acceleration is greater than about 4 × g the pilot will usually lose consciousness (“black out”). Consider a pilot flying at a speed of 950 m/s who wants to make a very sharp turn. What is the minimum radius of curvature that he can take without blacking out?
A 750 g ball swings in a vertical circle at the end of a 1.5 m long string. When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the tension in the string is 40 N. What is the speed of the ball at that point?

A 139.6 g ball at the end of a string is revolving uniformly in a horizontal circle of radius 0.493 m. The ball makes 3.16 revolutions in a second. What is the ball speed?
Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster, in meters per second, at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 11 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.2g? Note that g here is the acceleration due to gravity. The beginning of this roller coaster is at the top of a high hill. If it started from rest at the top of this hill, how high, in meters, above the top of the loop is this initial starting point? You may assume there is no friction anywhere on the track. If it actually starts 4.5 m higher than your answer to the previous part (yet still reaches the top of the loop with the same velocity), how much energy, in joules, did it lose to friction? Its mass is 1500…
A 0.250 kg ball swings in a vertical circle on the end of a string that is 1.20 m long. The tension in the string is 15.0 N when it is falling toward the lowest point on the circle and the angle between the string and the vertical is 40.0°. What is the speed of the ball at this moment?
