A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exerted by the seats on the passengers is equal to ¼ of their weight.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

where

Generally the net force is given to be

Mathematical we can now derive V

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential
