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 small block of mass m = 0.500 kg is fired with an initial speed of v0 = 4.30 m/s along a horizontal section of frictionless track, as shown in the top portion of the figure below. The block then moves along the frictionless, semicircular, vertical tracks of radius R = 1.45 m. (a) Determine the force exerted by the track on the block at points (A) and (B). track force at (A) N track force at (B) N (b) The bottom of the track consists of a section (L = 0.411 m) with friction. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and that portion of the bottom track if the block just makes it to point C on the first trip. Hint: If the block just makes it to point (C), the force of contact exerted by the track on the block at that point is zero.

A small block of mass m = 3.25 kg is fired with an initial speed v0 = 4 m/s along a horizontal section of frictionless track, as shown in the top portion of the figure. The block then moves along the frictionless semicircular vertical track of radius R = 0.5 m. Part 1 Determine the force exerted by the track on the block at point A. F = Part 2 The bottom of the track consists of a horizontal section (L = 14 m) with friction. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the bottom portion of the track if the block just makes it to point B before coming to rest. μk = number (rtol = 0.05, atol = 1 e−08)
