A trucks brakes fail while driving down a hill at a speed of 92 km/hr at the emergency ramp shown. If θ=15º, determine the minimum ramp length L in meters necessary to stop the truck. Use g = 10 N/kg and neglect friction. Don;t forget to convert units.
What is the maximum velocity, in miles per hour, for an automobile rounding a levelcurve of 200 ft radius if μs between the tires and roadbed is 1.0.
(a) What is the speed of the roller coaster, in meters per second, at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.9g? Note that g here is the acceleration due to gravity.
(b) The beginning of this roller coaster is at the top of a high hill. If it started from rest at the top of this hill, how high, in meters, above the top of the loop is this initial starting point? You may assume there is no friction anywhere on the track.
(c) If it actually starts 6.5 m higher than your answer to the previous part (yet still reaches the top of the loop with the same velocity), how much energy, in joules, did it lose to friction? Its mass is 1400 kg.

The peculiarity of circular motion at constant speed is that the magnitude of the acceleration is constant, but the direction of the acceleration vector rotates so that it always points to the center of the circle. It's completely different than "free fall", where the acceleration's direction points down and doesn't rotate. Rotating acceleration is illustrated in the top figure. Two velocity vectors are shown: V₁ and V2. They indicate the velocities at the two ends of an arc. They have the same length v, which matches the constant speed idea. The direction changes as the ball moves around. When you subtract one vector from the other, the difference is the "velocity change vector". It always points towards the center of the circle from the middle of the arc. The "centripetal acceleration" has the magnitude a centripetal…arrow_forwardA child rides a pony on a circular track whoseradius is 5.25 m.
