One or more of our familiar forces pulling inward.
I have no clue.
Answer: D
The rules about what is or is not a force haven’t changed.
Force must be exerted at a point of contact (except for gravity).
Force must have an identifiable agent doing the pushing or pulling.
The net force must point in the direction of acceleration (Newton’s second law).

17. QuickCheck 8.11
A roller coaster car does a loop-the-loop. If the minimum speed to navigate this loop is 30 m/s, what is the radius of the track?
Fc = F track + Fg (note all are toward the center, positive)
mV2 / r = mg
V2= rg
(30) 2 = r (10)
r = 90 m

18. A 1 kg plane moves in a circle (radius of 0. 5 m) at 2 m/s
A 1 kg plane moves in a circle (radius of 0.5 m) at 2 m/s . Find the angle ϴ made between the cord and the vertical.

19. A 1 kg plane moves in a circle (radius of 0. 5 m) at 2 m/s
A 1 kg plane moves in a circle (radius of 0.5 m) at 2 m/s . Find the angle ϴ made between the cord and the vertical.
Fc = (1)(2)^2 / (0.5) = 8 N
Fg = mg = (1)(10) = 10 N
Now use trig:
Tan (ϴ) = 8 / 10
So, ϴ = 38.7 o
