- Problem 1 A motorcyclist wants to perform the “Wall of Death” stunt. In this stunt, the rider will drive a motorcycle around the inside of a circular, vertical wall (you can see examples of this on YouTube if you search for “motorcycle stunt wall of death”). If the rider moves too slowly, then friction will not be large enough to oppose gravity and keep the motorcycle from falling. Let’s do som calculations to help the rider out. (A) Draw a free body diagram of the motorcycle and rider while they are moving around the vertical wall. (B) For this particular stunt, the radius of the wall is r = 5.0 m, and the rider wants to go at a constant v = 14 m/s. What will the rider’s centripetal acceleration be?

In Case A, a ball is released from rest at the top of a frictionless hill of height h. In Case B, an identical ball is released from rest at the top of a hill of height h with sufficient friction that the ball can roll without slipping.
