    Amusement Park Ride, Find Velocity at Point C

    Homework Statement A car in an amusement park ride rolls without friction around the track shown in the figure (Figure 1) . It starts from rest at point A at a height h above the bottom of the loop. Treat the car as a particle. If the car starts at height h= 5.00 R and the radius is R =...

    Finding the Time: Kinetic Friction Lab Question

    Homework Statement A 4.5 kg block is on an incline with a coefficient of static friction of 0.50. The angle that the ramp makes with the horizontal is increased gradually, until the block begins to slide down the ramp. If you know that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and...
