Question

You want to make a ride so you do not want to exceed 1.1g’s, if the radius of the turns are 10m, then what is the maximum speed the ride can go at?

Answer 1

The maximum speed is 10.4 m/s

Explanation:

For a body in uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have the following data:

- The maximum centripetal acceleration must be

$a=1.1 g$

where $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity. Substituting,

$a=(1.1)(9.8)=10.8 m/s^2$

- The radius of the turn is

r = 10 m

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for v, to find the maximum speed the ride can go at:

$v=\sqrt{ar}=\sqrt{(10.8)(10)}=10.4 m/s$
