Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1800−kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 19.0 m as in the figure below. (i) (a) If the car travels at 26.4 km/h what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump? magnitude N direction (b) What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point? km/h

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

Several planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are encircled by rings, perhaps composed of material that failed to form a satellite. In addition, many galaxies contain ring-like structures. Consider a homogeneous thin ring of mass of M and outer radius R (see the figure). NOTE: Give your answer in terms of the variables given and G when applicable. (a) What gravitational attraction does it exert on a particle of mass m located on the ring's central axis a distance x from the ring center? F = (b) What is the potential energy of the mass m as a function of its distance x from the ring? U(x) = (c) Calculate −dU/dx, where U is the potential energy of the small mass m. (Is this answer what you expected?) −dU/dx = (d) Suppose that, starting from the distance x shown, the particle falls from rest as a result of the attraction of the ring of matter. What is the speed with which it passes through the center of the ring? v =
