A roller coaster car with a mass 700 Kilograms starts from rest at h₁ above the ground and slides along a track. The car encounters a loop of radius 12 m. The bottom of the loop is a height h₂ = 5 m from the ground. What would be the max height of release h₁ for the roller coaster car if the amount of thermal energy produced between the point of release and the top of the loop should not exceed 15% of the initial mechanical energy and the normal force at the top should be no more than 580 N? answer in meters

A car of a roller coaster has a total mass of 1000 kg including the passenger. At position A (the top of the first incline), it cruises at 2m/s. Calculate its velocity at position C at the top of the second incline which is 5 m below the top of the first incline, if there are no losses due to friction on the track or air drag. Calculate the average resistance force (due to friction and drag) between points A...

-A roller coaster cart of mass (m1=127 kg) initially sits at rest on a track. Once the motor is activated, the cart is accelerated forward (across level ground) until it reaches the bottom of a giant circular loop with a radius of (r1=17.5 m). At this point, the motor is turned off and the cart must "coast" for the remainder of the ride. Assume the track is frictionless and ignore air resistance. At the top of the loop, what is...

A roller-coaster track is being designed so that the roller-coaster car can safely make it around the circular vertical loop of radius R = 24.5 m on the frictionless track. The loop is immediately after the highest point in the track, which is a height h above the bottom of the loop. What is the minimum value of h for which the roller-coaster car will barely make it around the vertical loop?
