Conservation of Momentum
The owners of an amusement park have hired you to determine if their design for a new loop the loop ride is safe. The car has a speed of 5m/s when it located on the tracks at a height h. The car coasts along the track going around the inside of the vertical circle of radius r = 100m. The car is not  physically bolted to the tracks but rides on the track in the same way as a railroad car rides on ordinary railroad tracks. The bottom of the circle is at ground level and the schematic drawing of the ride is shown below. The circular tracks have already been constructed and the blueprints speeify a starting height 220m. However the owners are not sure whether this height is well above the minimum height for which the  car will stay on the tracks at the top of the circle. You have been consulted before the construction begins on the starting track to determine if this proposed height is safe. The coefficient of friction between the  tracks and the wheels is 0.0. (a) What force if any does the track exert on the car at point B? Point C? Identify by name the physics principles you use. Assume that the car has mass 500kg. (b) Will the car remain on the tracks if the blueprints starting height is used? If yes show using the correct physics principle (s). If no find the exact angle where the car leaves the tracks(c). Based on your calculations what would you advise the owners to do? Determine the minimum height h for the car to just stay on the  tracks. Use the safer of the two starting heights for all the remaining questions. (d) Determine the velocity of the car  when it reaches the bottom of the  circle when it reaches point A when it reaches the  top of the circle. Identify the physics principles that use. (e) Does the car execute uniform circular motion? Explain. (f) If a 70 kg rider is seated in the car what force does she exert on the seat when the car reaches the bottom of the track? If she were seating on scales what it read at the bottom of the track? Identify the physics principles that you use.
