Consider a roller coaster ride in a amusement park. The inner loop has a radius of 5.00 m. The top of the ride inside the loop gose 20.00 m above the ground.
(a) What is the minimum speed at the top that assures that a car that slides along he track will not fall off the track?
(b) How high up must the car have been to attain this speed?
(c) A sneaky amusement park owner substitutes a spherical car. The spherical rolls without slipping down the incline. What is the minimum height to attain a speed of 7.00 m/s?

The light intensity for human beings to comfortably read a page is 1 Watt/ Meeter^2. The  intensity of sunlight striking the earth is 1500 Watts/meter^2. As  you  travel in the solar system towards the outer planets the solar intensity diminishes. Given the radii of the orbits of the planets below calculate the intensity of light on the planet and find what the furthest planet that could be traveled to and still have enough light to read by.
Earth 1.5
Mars 2.3
Jupiter 7.7
Saturn 14
Uranus 28
Neptune 45

 A loop is placed near a long straight wire. The loop carries a current a  current of 2A and the wire carries a current of 10A. The radius of the loop is 0.1m. What distances must the edge of the loop be from the wire such that the magnetic field at the center of the loop be from the wires such  that the magnetic field at the center of the loop be zero? In which direction ( clockwise or counter) must the current in the loop be traveling?

Interfrence
A person driving at V 16.6 m/s crosses the line connecting two radio transmitters at right angles as shown in the figure below. The transmitters emit identical signals in phase with each other which the driver receives on the car radio. When the car is at point A L1 = 440 m and L2= 141 m away from the transmitters the radio picks up a maximum net signal. What is the longest possible wavelength of the radio waves?

The specific heat capacity of ice is about 0.5 cal/g* oC.  Supposing that it remains at that value all the way to absolute zero, calculate the number of calories it would take to change a 1-gram ice cube to absolute zero (-273oC) to 1 gram of boiling water.  How does this number of calories compare with the number of calories required to change the same gram of 100oC boiling water to 100oC steam?
