Six children run on a track with equal speeds. Their masses are expressed in multiples of mass “M” and their path radii are expressed in multiples of radius “R.” a. Rank the centripetal acceleration of the lettered from largest to smallest. (Ties are possible.) largest -> _A=D_ ,_B=E_, _C=F_ <-smallest Explain how you determined your ranking: v2 Centripetal acceleration is . Since the speeds are all r the same, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. A and D have the smallest radius and C and F the largest.

Rollercoasters use a hill for riders to gain speed followed by an upside down loop. The loops are designed with large radius bottoms and small radius tops, and such a shape is called a clothoid. Answer the following questions in order to find out why the clothoid is used. The speed of the rollercoaster is 22 m/s at the bottom of the loop and 8 m/s at the top of the loop. r 1 a. Use quantitative force diagrams to determine the size of the force on the rider by the seat at the top and bottom of the loop. r 2 N Fg mg 1000kg(10 kg ) 10000N FN = 58,000 N Fg = 10,000 N mv 2 1000kg(22 ms )2 48400N r 10m FN Fg 48400N FN 10,000N Fnet Fnet FN 58,000N mv 2 1000kg (8 ms )2 12,800N r 5.0m FN Fg 12,800N FN 10,000 Fnet Fnet FN = 2,800 N Fg = 10,000N FN 2,800N b. Now suppose the rollercoaster had been designed with the small 5 meter radius at the bottom and the large 10 meter radius at the top. Use quantitative force diagrams to determine the size of the force on the rider by the seat at the top and bottom of the loop. FN = 107,000 N Fg = 10,000 N mv 2 1000kg (22 ms )2 96,800N r 5m FN Fg 96,800N FN 10,000N Fnet Fnet FN 107,000N mv 2 1000kg (8 ms )2 6,400N r 10m FN Fg 6,400N FN 10,000 Fnet Fnet FN = 3,600N Fg = 10,000N FN 3,600N c. Why is the clothoid shape used in rollercoasters? As can be seen in part b. the radius of curvature at the top must be small enough that the net force is larger than the force of gravity. If not, the rollercoaster won't make it over the top. Also if the radius of curvature is too small at the bottom the upward force on the person can be more than they can tolerate. In the example, the force is almost 11 times the body weight. ©Modeling Instruction – AMTA 2013 2 U7 Central Force Model - ws3 v3.1 4. 80 kg Tarzan grabs a vine to swing to another tree. a. As Tarzan swings from point A to point B, describe qualitatively how the tension in the vine changes and why. 8 m A 2 BCm Since the net force is inversely proportional to the radius (if the speed does not change), one fourth the radius will give a net force 4 times larger. b. At point B he is swinging at 7 m/s and the vine is 8 meters long. How hard does he have to hang on to the vine to keep from slipping off?

If Tarzan is still traveling at 7 m/s, how hard does he now have to hold on to the vine? 80kg(7.0 ms )2 N FT 80kg(10 kg ) 1,960N 800N 2800N 2.0m He must hold on with a force 3.5 times his weight. d. If Tarzan slips off at point C what will be the path he takes? (Sketch the path on the diagram.) How does this path differ from circular motion? Tarzan becomes a projectile. There is a constant downward force accelerating him vertically and he moves to the right at a constant velocity. ©Modeling Instruction – AMTA 2013 3 U7 Central Force Model - ws3 v3.1 5. Six children of equal masses run on a track. Their speeds are expressed in multiples of velocity “V” and their path radii are expressed in multiples of radius “R.” D 2 F2 from E V3 V 4R V A4 V B largest -> _C_, _A_, _E_,_D_,_F_, _B_<-smallest V 5R Explain how you determined your ranking: C6 V 6R v2 I looked at the ratio of . For C it was 6, for A it was 4, for E it was 1.8, for D it was 1, r for F it was 0.67 and for B it was 0.2. a. Rank the centripetal acceleration of the lettered children largest to smallest. (Ties are possible.) b. Rank the centripetal force needed for each child to remain in circular motion. (Ties are possible.) largest -> _C_, _A_, _E_,_D_,_F_, _B_<-smallest Explain how you determined your ranking: Since they all have the same mass, the order will be the same as in part a. 6. An amusement park ride operates as follows: riders enter the cylindrical structure when it is stationary with the floor at the point marked "a". They then stand against the wall as the cylinder then begins to rotate. When it is up to speed, the floor is lowered to the position marked "b", leaving the riders "suspended" against the wall high above the floor. F fs F FN Side g view of rider Determine the period of rotation necessary to keep the riders from sliding down the wall when the floor is lowered from point "a" to point "b".
