Chapter 5, Problem 54GP
* Loop-the-loop You have to design a loop-the-loop for a new amusement park so that when each car passes the top of the loop inverted (upside-down), each seat exerts a force against a passenger's bottom that has a magnitude equal to 15 times the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the passenger. Choose some reasonable physical quantities so these conditions are met. Show that the loop-the-loop will work equally well for passengers of any mass.

c) One of the bestselling items at the stall are gummy worms, so you decide to
perfect the recipe. The ideal gummy will stretch a little as you bite into it, but
not too much. The mold you use produces worms with a length of 0.1m and a
diameter of 0.03m.
You narrow it down to two recipes. In the graph below are the two possible
options you produce when you hang weights from the bottom of your two
most likely gummy worms and measure the extension.

Calculate the Young Modulus of the gummy worms by converting one of the options
into a stress/ strain graph (to be shown with your answers) and the other by using
calculations. Choose which gummy worm you think would be better and explain why.
After reading the physics question below, choose one of the answers listed.
Water park enthusiasts have made their own looped water slide:
They think that (ignoring friction) as long as the top of the loop is below their initial starting point on the roof, they should make it around the loop. Assuming the ramp was indeed frictionless, is their assumption correct? Pick one of the following answers.
1) Yes
2) No

A softball pitcher has a strange technique: she begins with her hand at rest at the highest point she can reach and then quickly rotates her arm backward so that the ball moves through a half-circle path.

The pitcher maintains a component of force on the 0.180-kg ball of constant magnitude 12.0 N in the direction of motion around the complete path. As the ball arrives at the bottom of the path, it leaves her hand with a speed of 25.0 m/s.arrow_forward
