A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1

2 m and the loop has a radius of curvature of 15 m. (a) When going over the hump, the coaster is traveling with a speed of 9.0 m/s. A 100-kg rider is traveling on the coaster. What is the normal force of the rider’s seat on the rider when he is at the peak of the hump? Compare this with the normal force he would experience when the coaster is at rest. (b) What is the minimum speed the coaster must have at the top of the loop in order for the rider to remain in contact with his seat? Is this speed dependent on the mass of the rider?

Answer:

Part a)

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

mg - F_n = ma_c

now we will have

mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}

F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}

F_n = 981 - 675

F_n = 306 N

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

F_n + mg = ma_c

F_n = 0 at minimum speed

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}

v = 12.1 m/s

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

3. In a uniform electric field, the equation for the magnitude of the magnetic field is E=(V/d). V= voltage d= distance. If the magnetic field magnitude is constant , as stated in your problem, then the voltage must stay the same otherwise the value of "E" would change". And the problem already told us the "E" is uniform and so, not changing. Does that make sense?

4a. If the magnetic field lines are equally spaced apart, in other words share the same density. Then we know that the magnitude of the magnetic field is unchanging. This is because the density of of the magnetic field lines(how many are in a certain area) is related to the magnitude being expressed by the electric field. Greater magnitude is expressed by the presence of more lines (higher line density) 

4b. The electric potential is measured in Volts(V) and is uniform along  the same equipotential line. What is an equipotential line(gray)? It is a line drawn perpendicular(forms a right angle with) to the magnetic field lines(black) to show the changes in electric potential. One space where electric potential will always be the same because it will always be equal to 0 Volts is exactly in between a positive and negative charges of equal charge value I have pointed to this line with a purple arrow in my picture.

I really hope this makes sense to you and that my pictures help! :)

Let, 1st force = a

2nd force = b

A.T.Q,

a+b = 10

a-b = 6

Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2

After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5

Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons

A 500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 J from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field stren
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer : Height, h = 20.4 m

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy, PE = 100 J

The Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed due to the height and gravity of an object. It is given as :

PE = m g h

where,

h is the height of the cliff.

100\ J=0.5\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times h

h = 20.40 m

So, the height of the cliff is 20.4 m.
