Answer :
Answer:
v = 8.5 m/s
Explanation:
In order for the passengers not to fall out of the loop circle, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the passenger. Therefore,
Weight = Centripetal Force
but,
Weight = mg
Centripetal Force = mv²/r
Therefore,
mg = mv²/r
g = v²/r
v² = gr
v = √gr
where,
v = minimum speed required = ?
g = 9.8 m/s²
r = radius = 7.4 m
Therefore,
v = √(9.8 m/s²)(7.4 m)
v = 8.5 m/s
Minimum speed for a roller coaster while travelling upside down so that the person will not fall out = 8.5 m/s
For a roller coaster be traveling when upside down the Force balance equation can be written for a person of mass m.
In the given condition the weight of the person must be balanced by the centrifugal force.
and for the person not to fall out centrifugal force must be greater than or equal to the weight of the person
According to the Newton's Second Law of motion we can write force balance
[tex]\rm mv^2/r -mg =0 \\\\mg = mv^2 /r (Same\; mass) \\\\\\g = v^2/r\\\\v = \sqrt {gr}......(1)[/tex]
Given Radius of loop = r = 7.4 m
Putting the value of r = 7.4 m in equation (1) we get
[tex]\sqrt{9.8\times 7.4 } = \sqrt{72.594} = 8.5\; m/s[/tex]
