- A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology and some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop (Fig. P5.22). The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0 in high. Suppose the speed at the top of the loop is 13.0 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration of the riders is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top? (b) If the total mass of a car plus the riders is M, what force does the rail exert on the car at the top? (c) Suppose the roller coaster had a circular loop of radius 20.0 m. If the care have the same speed, 13.0 m/s at the top, what is the centripetal acceleration of the riders at the top? (d) Comment on the normal force at the top in the situation described in part (c) and on the advantages of having teardrop-shaped loops.arrow_forwardSuppose that a 1800 kg car passes over a bump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 21.4 m as in the figure below.

- Roller coaster loops are rarely perfectly circular. Instead, they are tightly curved at the top, where the cars are moving more slowly, and they have a gentler curve at the bottom, where the cars are moving much faster. Explain why the loops are designed this way.arrow_forwardA certain string just breaks when it is under 25N of tension. A boy uses this string to whirl a 2kg stone in a horizontal circle of radius 3m.
