A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology a

nd some basic physics. Each vertical loop, instead of being circular, is shaped like a teardrop. The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure that the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g. (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m

In designing circular rides for amusement parks, mechanical engineers must consider how small variations in certain parameters c
Bess [88]

Answer:

Part a)

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

Part b)

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that force on the passenger while moving in circle is given as

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now variation in force is given as

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

here speed is constant

Part b)

Now if the variation in force is required such that r is constant then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

so we have

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

As we know that time period of the circular motion is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

so here if radius is constant then variation in time period is given as

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

"how do the fundamental laws of physics make manifest that space has 3 dimensions?"
bazaltina [42]
If you are asking for a proof on having at least 3 dimensions in space, you can find the physical proof anywhere in your daily life activities. Just the fact that solids have volumes is a proof already that we live in a three-dimensional space. We can move forwards, backwards, sidewards and in all other directions possible.

When you go right into detail, the fundamental laws governing these proofs are very technical. They have differential equations to show as proof. It is too detailed to discuss here. The important things is that, these fundamental laws are what explains the science in our basic activities and natural phenomena:

*Gravitation and planetary motion
* Translation, rotation, magnetic field, forces
* Integrals of equations:
