Answer:
A.) 909 cm/s
B.) 33075 N
Explanation:
A.) Given that the
Mass M = 43 g
Height h = 4.05 R
Radius r = R
At the top of the loop, the maximum potential energy P.E = mgh
Substitutes m and h into the formula where g = 9.8 m/s^2 = 9610.517 cm/s^2
P.E = 43 × 9610.517 × 4.05R
P.E = 1673671.536R J
According to conservative of energy
The maximum P.E = maximum K.E
But K.E = 1/2mv^2
1673671.536R = 1/2mv^2
Substitutes for mass m into the formula
1673671.536R = 1/2× 4.05R × v^2
The R will cancel out
Cross multiply
4.05 v^2 = 3347343.072
V^2 = 3347343.072 / 4.05
V^2 = 826504.4622
V = sqrt( 826504.4622)
V = 909 cm/s
B.) At the top of the loop, the centripetal force = the sum of the normal force N and the weight W of the car. That is,
MV^2/R = N + W
Make N the subject of formula
N = mv^2/ R - W
Where W = mg
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
N = (4.05R × 909^2) /R - 4.05R × 9610.517
N = 3346438.05 - 38922.59
N = 3307515 N
