10. Answer For the ball on the end of a string moving in a vertical circle: What force is producing the centripetal acceleration of the ball? A.gravity B.air resistance C.normal force D.tension in the string Slide 6-18

11. Loop the Loop Consider a ball on a string making a vertical circle. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball at the top and bottom of the circle Rank the forces in the two diagrams. Be sure to explain the reasoning behind your rankings Find the minimum speed of the ball at the top of the circle so that it keeps moving along the circular path What would happen if the speed was less than the minimum? What would happen if the speed was more than the miniumum? Slide 6-12

13. A roller-coaster car has a mass of 500 kg when fully loaded with passengers as shown on the right. 1. If the car has a speed of 20.0 m/s at point A, what is the force exerted by the track at this point? What is the apparent weight of the person? 2. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point B and stay on the track? Roller Coaster and Circular Motion Slide 15-37

14. We have mainly discussed particle motion This describes motion of the center of mass What about rotational motion about the center of mass Every motion quantity we have looked at in kinematics, Forces, momentum, and Energy has an analogous quantity in Rotation. Every equation has an analog too Rotational equations look exactly the same Examples Position => theta Force => torque Kinetic Energy => Rotational Kinetic Energy Momentum => Angular momentum Mass => Moment of Inertia Every quantity we studied has a rotational analog Slide 15-37

15. Additional Example Problems At Talladega, a NASCAR track, the turns have a 370 m radius and are banked at 33°. At what speed can a car go around this corner with no assistance from friction? The Globe of Death is a spherical cage in which motorcyclists ride in circular paths at high speeds. One outfit claims that riders achieve a speed of 60 mph in a 16 ft diameter sphere. What would be the period for this motion? What would be the apparent weight of a 60 kg rider at the bottom of the sphere? Given these two pieces of information, does this high speed in this small sphere seem possible? Slide 6-51
