Question

Problem 6SL

Suppose that the track in Fig. 6–51 is not frictionless and the values of h and R are given. (See Sections 6–9 and 6–1.) (a) If you measure the velocity of the roller coaster at the top of the hill (of height h) and at the top of the circle (of height 2R), can you determine the work done by friction during the time the roller coaster moves between those two points? Why or why not? (b) Can you determine the average force of friction between those two points? Why or why not? If not, what additional information do you need?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 6SLSuppose that the track in Fig. 6–51 is not frictionless and the values of h and R are given. (See Sections 6–9 and 6–1.) (a) If you measure the velocity of the roller coaster at the top of the hill (of height h) and at the top of the circle (of height 2R), can you determine the work done by friction during the time the roller coaster moves between those two points? Why or why not? (b) Can you determine the average force of friction between those two points? Why or why not? If not, what additional information do you need?
From the textbook chapter Work and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
