    (1) For a car to complete a loop-the-loop track without falling, the minimum height h of the starting point must be greater than R/2. (2) If the car starts from a height of h = 3.5R at point A, then at the midpoint C, the car's speed is 31.3 m/s, radial acceleration is 49.0 m/s^2, and tangential acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2.

    7.46. Riding a Loop-the-Loop.

    A car in an amusement park ride rolls without friction around the


    track shown in the figure. It starts from rest at point A at a height h above the bottom of the loop.
    Treat the car as a particle. (a) What is the minimum value of h (in terms of R) such that the care
    moves around the loop without falling off at the top (point B)? (b) If h = 3.50R and R = 20.0 m,
    compute the speed, radial acceleration, and tangential acceleration of the passengers when the car
    is at point C, which is at the end of a horizontal diameter. Show these acceleration components in
    a diagram, approximately to scale.

    Identify: Apply K1 + U1 + WNC = K2 + U2 to relate h and vB . Apply 

    at point B to find
    the minimum speed required at B for the car not to fall off the track.

    At B, a  vB / R , downward. The minimum speed is when n  0 and mg  mvB / R . The

    Set up:
    minimum speed required is vB  gR . K1  0 and Wother  0 .
    Execute:

    (a) KA + UA = KB + UB applied to points A and B gives U A  U B  2 mvB . The speed at the

    top must be at least Thus,

    (b) Apply KA + UA = KC + UC to points A and C. U A  UC  (2.50) Rmg  K C , so

    vC  (5.00) gR  (5.00)(9.80 m/s2 )(20.0 m)  31.3 m/s.

    The radial acceleration is R The tangential direction is down, the normal
    force at point C is horizontal, there is no friction, so the only downward force is
    gravity, and atan  g  9.80 m/s .

    Evaluate: If h  2 R , then the downward acceleration at B due to the circular motion is greater

    than g and the track must exert a downward normal force n. n increases as h increases and
    hence vB increases.
