A particularly scary roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radiu

s of the loop is 12.1 m with what minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top? Assume the rider is not strapped to the car.

Answer:

v = 10.89\ m/s

Explanation:

given,                          

radius of loop = 12.1 m                              

to find the minimum speed transverse by the rider to not to fall out upside down                                                                

centripetal force = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

gravitational force  = m g

computing both the equation]

mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{rg}

v = \sqrt{12.1 \times 9.8}

v = \sqrt{118.58}

v = 10.89\ m/s

A rainbow viewed from an airplane may form a complete circle. Where will the shadow of the airplane appear? Explain.
attashe74 [19]
The position of the sun must be at the horizon in order for the rainbow to appear.
The relative positions of the sun and plane make the rainbow appear as a full circle.
However, if the sun is at the horizon, the shadow of the plane will be behind the plane, not below it; this means that the shadow of the plane will not fall on the earth.

You are leaving for a party at your cousin’s house in a city that is 150 km away. You will travel at an average rate of 50 km/hr
mrs_skeptik [129]

The distance you should cover is: S=150 km

Your average speed is: v=50 km/h

Therefore, to calculate the time you will take to cover this distance, we can use the basic relationship between space, distance and time, and we find:

t=\frac{S}{v}=\frac{150 km}{50 km/h}=3 h

so, you will take 3 hours.
