The passengers in a roller coaster feel 42 % heavier than their true weight as the car goes through a loop with a 30 m radius of curvature. What is the car's speed at the bottom of the loop? Use g = 10 N/kg. Hint: How heavy some one feels is another name for normal force. The problem therefore tells you the normal force. If you know weight and normal force, you can determine centripetal acceleration. You can substitute a value for mass if you wish.
High-speed ultracentrifuges are useful devices to sediment materials quickly or to separate materials. An ultracentrifuge spins a small tube in a circle of radius 10.5 cm at 60000.0 rev/min. What is the centripetal force experienced by a sample that has a mass of 0.00330 kg?
A 0.2 kg ball is twirled at the end of a string in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.6 m. The ball travels with a constant speed of 4.0 m/s. What is the value of the tension in the string?
