A roller-coaster car has a mass of 514 kg when fully loaded with passengers. The path of the coaster from its initial point shown in the figure to point B involves only up-and-down motion (as seen by the riders), with no motion to the left or right. Assume the roller-coaster tracks at points (A) and (B) are parts of vertical circles of radius r1 = 10.0 m and r2 = 15.0 m, respectively. (a) If the vehicle has a speed of 19.1 m/s at point A, what is the force exerted by the track on the car at this point? N (b) What is the maximum speed the vehicle can have at B and still remain on the track? m/s

A ship maneuvers to a position at a horizontal distance Δx1 = 2.50×103 m from an island's mountain peak with maximum height hM = 1.80×103 m, and fires a projectile at an enemy ship on the other side of the peak, which is at a horizontal distance Δx2 = 6.10×102 m from the peak, as illustrated below. The projectile is shot with an initial velocity vi = 2.50×102 m/s at an angle θ = 75.0∘. Assume no air resistance and ay = −g = −9.80 m/s2. a) What type of motion does the projectile undergo? What type of trajectory does it have? b) Find the maximum height hmax reached by the projectile. c) Find the total time of flight in the air Δttot just before the projectile hits the water surface. d) How close horizontally to the enemy ship does the projectile land? e) How close vertically does the projectile come to the peak?

A starship traveling at 99% of the speed of light fires a missile at an enemy starship which is 312 m ahead and traveling at the same velocity. The missile, which is 4.0 m long as measured aboard the starship before it is fired, travels from the launcher at a speed 120 m/s faster than the ship. What does the length of the missile appear to be to the occupants of the enemy ship? meters
