Answer:
Angular velocity is same as frequency of oscillation in this case.
ω = x
Explanation:
- write the equation F(r) = -K with angular momentum <em>L</em>
- Get the necessary centripetal acceleration with radius r₀ and make r₀ the subject.
- Write the energy of the orbit in relative to r = 0, and solve for "E".
- Find the second derivative of effective potential to calculate the frequency of small radial oscillations. This is the effective spring constant.
- Solve for effective potential
- ω = x
There are missing data in the text of the problem (found them on internet):
- speed of the car at the top of the hill:
- radius of the hill:
Solution:
(a) The car is moving by circular motion. There are two forces acting on the car: the weight of the car
(downwards) and the normal force N exerted by the road (upwards). The resultant of these two forces is equal to the centripetal force, 
, so we can write:
(1)
By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find N:
(b) The problem is exactly identical to step (a), but this time we have to use the mass of the driver instead of the mass of the car. Therefore, we find:
(c) To find the car speed at which the normal force is zero, we can just require N=0 in eq.(1). and the equation becomes:
from which we find
