Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in Figure 6.38. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?

Wow. 1.50 g doesn't mean 1.5g, it means 1.5 something times g. This book needs to be thrown against the wall except I don't have a physical copy of it.

😂 Some of the questions are weirdly written but we'll get through them!

thank you for these videos, that are a huge help

[@GlaserTutoring]

You got it! I am so glad that these videos are helping you in your Physics class. Keep working hard and help us spread the word! 😀

Just trying to help students like yourself do well in Physics! Keep up the great work, Rachel! 😀
