Answer:
11.8 m/s
Explanation:
At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
mg − N = m v²/r
At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.
mg = m v²/r
g = v²/r
v = √(gr)
v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)
v = 11.8 m/s
Because gravity is constant
<span>the only force acting in free-fall is gravity which points downward at 9.8 m/s</span>
Yes it does, uh huh. It slows down as it rolls. That's a fact.
In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way. That takes energy. To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy. When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.
