The car is fully loaded with passengers and has a total mass of 575 kg. At point A, the car is at the lowest point in a circular arc of radius r1 = 12.4 m. At point B, the car is at the highest point of a circular arc of radius r2 = 17.3 m. (a) If the car has a speed of 25.0 m/s at point A, what is the magnitude of the force (in N) of the track on the car at this point? (b) What is the maximum speed (in m/s) the car can have at point B in order for the car to maintain contact with the track at all times (that is, so that it does not "jump" off the track)?

The figure below shows a roller-coaster car on a track. The car is fully loaded with passengers and has a total mass of 485 kg. At point A, the car is at the lowest point in a circular arc of radius r1 = 12.0 m. At point B, the car is at the highest point of a circular arc of radius r2 = 16.8 m. What is the maximum speed (in m/s) the car can have at point B in order for the car to maintain contact with the track at all times (that is, so that it does not "jump" off the track)?

A woman at an airport is rolling her suitcase (mass = 20 kg) at an initial velocity of 1 m/s by pulling on a strap at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with a force of 33 N. The woman starts to speed up when she realizes that she is late for her flight. She pulls the suitcase over a distance of 50 m as she walks to her gate. What is the speed of the suitcase when she reaches her gate? (You can neglect friction in this problem. Give your answer in m/s.)
A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.49 m above the bottom of the chute with an initial speed of 1.87 m/s. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.239. How far from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Assume g = 9.81 m/s?.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 5 x 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.3 x 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 x 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed = m/s
A dog with a mass of 57.0 kg slides down a wet slope with negligible friction. The dog starts from rest and has a speed of 3.90 m/s at the bottom. What is the height of the slope (in m)?
Why is the following situation impossible? A new highspeed roller coaster is claimed to be so safe that the passengers do not need to wear seat belts or any other restraining device. The coaster is designed with a vertical circular section over which the coaster travels on the inside of the circle so that the passengers are upside down for a short time interval. The radius of the circular section is 12.0 m, and the coaster enters the bottom of the circular section at a speed of 22.0 m/s. Assume the coaster moves without friction on the track and model the coaster as a particle.
