Aroller coaster starts at the top of a hill of height h, goes down the hill, and does a circular loop of radius r before continuing on. this roller coaster is not attached to the track — it only glides on top of it, so it could fall off at the top of the loop. this section of the roller coaster is shown below.
if the roller coaster starts at the top of the hill with zero velocity, what is the expression for the velocity of the roller coaster at the top of the loop?
a. draw the free-body diagram for the roller coaster at the top of the loop. (1 point)

b. write the expression for the net force in the y-direction at the top of the loop, in terms of w, fn, m, v, and r. (1 point)

c. write the equation that will tell you the velocity at which the coaster will fall when it reaches the top of the loop. (1 point)

d. if the coaster has a mass of 50 kg and the loop has a radius of 30 m, how fast must the coaster be going at the top of the loop to keep it from falling? (1 point)

e. based on the values in the previous part, how high must the roller coaster start out to prevent it from falling from the top of the loop? (2 points)

f. if friction along the track caused the coaster to lose 10% of its initial energy by the time it reached the top of the loop, how high would h need to be to keep the coaster from falling off? (2 points)

You and a friend (alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. you both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. however, the tension in the rope is greater when alex climbs. who did the most work? alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done you did - less tension means less force - less force means more work was done to find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? when more work was done, the couch was moved less. when more work was done, the couch was moved further. when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all. when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance.

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.

Which statements identify what astronomers currently know and think will happen with our universe? check all that apply. the big bang produced dark energy, which accounts for some of the energy needed to expand the universe. the vastness of space may contain a type of matter known as "dark matter." the universe is currently shrinking at a rapid rate. the universe is currently expanding at an accelerating rate. the big bang theory explains all the energy and matter discovered by scientists.
