Alrigth we had a lab were we had to find out what is the initial speed to give a particle to go through a vertical loop with no friction (like a rollercoaster) the equation we found was this :
[tex]V_o=\sqrt{(c*G*r)}[/tex]
[tex]V_o = initial speed[/tex]
[tex]c = constant[/tex]
[tex]G = 9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]r = radius of circle[/tex]
If you fill it in for the condition we had during lab we get :
[tex]V_o=\sqrt{(5*9.8*r)}[/tex]
The question is were does that 5 comes from... what does it represent...
