Serway & Jewett β€” Conservation of Energy: Problem 34

Review. Why is the following situation impossible? A new high-speed roller coaster is claimed to be so safe that the passengers do not need to wear seat belts or any other restraining device. The coaster is designed with a vertical circular section over which the coaster travels on the inside of the circle so that the passengers are upside down for a short time interval. The radius of the circular section is 12.0 m, and the coaster enters the bottom of the circular section at a speed of 22.0 m/s. Assume the coaster moves without friction on the track and model the coaster as a particle.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 12.0 m, 22.0 m
