Loop the loop Definition and 29 Threads

For this problem, The solution is, Does someone please know why ##N > 0##. I though at the min speed to still go around the loop, we could set ##N = 0## and ##mg## provides the centripetal force. Also, I am wondering how to do this problem with using energy conservation. My working is ## N +...

How fast must a plan fly in a loop-de-loop if the pilot experiences no force from either the seat or the safety belt when he is at the top of the loop? I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help.

Homework Statement A mass m = 71 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 16.1 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (16.1 m off the ground). Since the mass would not make it around the loop if...

Homework Statement At the top of the loop, we are in an upside down position, with our head being pointed towards the centre of the circle. As long as the ride is fast enough, it's impossible for us to fall out. But what happens if the ride slows down? if the rollercoaster slows down, the...
