A marble rolls down a track and around a loop-the-loop of radius R. The marble has mass m and radius r. What minimum height h must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off?
I'm stumped - I'm assuming I need to use energy for this problem, but how...
Did you remember to add the distance that the bandits car travels?
distance traveled by bandit = (5 seconds + t) * 33.3 m/s
The police cars distance is just a simple kinematic equation:
distance traveled by police = (3 m/s^2 * t)
Then set the distances equal. Is that what you did?
