    A 350-kg roller coaster starts from rest at point A and slides down a frictionless loop. It will be moving at point B at the bottom of the loop. It will press against the track at point B with a force equal to its weight. A car in an amusement park ride rolls without friction around a loop-shaped track. For the car to complete the loop without falling, the minimum height h must be greater than or equal to the radius R of the loop.

    Loop. A car in an amusement
    A
    park ride rolls without friction
    around the track shown in Fig.
    B
    h
    P7.46. It starts from rest at point
    C R
    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 car 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.
    7.47 .. A 2.0-kg piece of wood Figure P7.47
    slides on the surface shown in
    Wood
    Fig. P7.47. The curved sides are
    perfectly smooth, but the rough
    Rough bottom
    horizontal bottom is 30 m long
    and has a kinetic friction coefcient of 0.20 with the wood. The piece of wood starts from rest
    4.0 m above the rough bottom. (a) Where will this wood eventually come to rest? (b) For the motion from the initial release until
    the piece of wood comes to rest, what is the total amount of work
    done by friction?
    7.48 .. Up and Down the Hill. A 28-kg rock approaches the
    foot of a hill with a speed of 15 m>s. This hill slopes upward at a
    constant angle of 40.0 above the horizontal. The coefcients of
    static and kinetic friction between the hill and the rock are 0.75 and
    0.20, respectively. (a) Use energy conservation to nd the maximum height above the foot of the hill reached by the rock. (b) Will
    the rock remain at rest at its highest point, or will it slide back
    down the hill? (c) If the rock does slide back down, nd its speed
    when it returns to the bottom of the hill.
    7.49 .. A 15.0-kg stone slides
    Figure P7.49
    down a snow-covered hill
    (Fig. P7.49), leaving point A with A
    a speed of 10.0 m>s. There is no
    friction on the hill between points 20 m
    A and B, but there is friction on the
    B
    level ground at the bottom of
    15 m
    Rough
    the hill, between B and the wall.
    After entering the rough horizontal

    region, the stone travels 100 m and then runs into a very long, light
    spring with force constant 2.00 N>m. The coefcients of kinetic
    and static friction between the stone and the horizontal ground are
    0.20 and 0.80, respectively. (a) What is the speed of the stone when
    it reaches point B? (b) How far will the stone compress the spring?
    (c) Will the stone move again after it has been stopped by the
    spring?
    7.50 .. CP A 2.8-kg block Figure P7.50
    slides over the smooth, icy hill
    shown in Fig. P7.50. The top of
    the hill is horizontal and 70 m
    70 m
    50 m
    higher than its base. What minimum speed must the block have
    120 m
    at the base of the hill in order
    40 m
    for it to pass over the pit at the
    far side of the hill?
    7.51 ... Bungee Jump. A bungee cord is 30.0 m long and,
    when stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude
    kx. Your father-in-law (mass 95.0 kg) stands on a platform 45.0 m
    above the ground, and one end of the cord is tied securely to his
    ankle and the other end to the platform. You have promised him that
    when he steps off the platform he will fall a maximum distance of
    only 41.0 m before the cord stops him. You had several bungee
    cords to select from, and you tested them by stretching them out,
    tying one end to a tree, and pulling on the other end with a force of
    380.0 N. When you do this, what distance will the bungee cord that
    you should select have stretched?
    7.52 .. Ski Jump Ramp. You are designing a ski jump ramp for
    the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h
    from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off
    hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so
    they typically have a speed of 2.0 m>s as they reach the gate. For
    safety, the skiers should have a speed no higher than 30.0 m>s when
    they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 85.0-kg
    skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of
    magnitude 4000 J on him during his run down the ramp. What is the
    maximum height h for which the maximum safe speed will not be
    exceeded?
    7.53 ... The Great Sandini is a 60-kg circus performer who is
    shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You dont nd many
    men of his caliber, so you help him design a new gun. This new
    gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 N>m that he will compress with a force of 4400 N.
    The inside of the gun barrel is coated with Teon, so the average
    friction force will be only 40 N during the 4.0 m he moves in
    the barrel. At what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel,
    2.5 m above his initial rest position?
    7.54 ... You are designing a delivery ramp for crates containing
    exercise equipment. The 1470-N crates will move at 1.8 m>s at the
    top of a ramp that slopes downward at 22.0. The ramp exerts a
    550-N kinetic friction force on each crate, and the maximum static
    friction force also has this value. Each crate will compress a spring
    at the bottom of the ramp and will come to rest after traveling a
    total distance of 8.0 m along the ramp. Once stopped, a crate must
    not rebound back up the ramp. Calculate the force constant of the
    spring that will be needed in order to meet the design criteria.
    7.55 .. A system of two paint buckets connected by a lightweight
    rope is released from rest with the 12.0-kg bucket 2.00 m above
    the oor (Fig. P7.55). Use the principle of conservation of energy
    to nd the speed with which this bucket strikes the oor. You can
    ignore friction and the mass of the pulley.
