A roller coaster moving along its track rolls into a circular loop of radius r. In the loop, it is only affected by its initial velocity, gravity, and the shape of the track. Let v denote the instantaneous speed and a denote the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration of the roller coaster in the loop. Which of the following is true in the loop? a. The roller coaster is not in uniform circular motion, but we still have a=v^2/r everywhere on the loop
b. The roller coaster is not in uniform circular motion, but the tangential acceleration is so small that we can approximate a by v^2/r everywhere on the loop
c. The roller coaster is in uniform circular motion
d. The roller coaster is not in uniform circular motion, and a=v^2/r is only applicable at the very top and bottom of the loop where the tangential acceleration vanishes
