The two problems below are related to a cart of mass M = 500 kg going around a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 5 m, as shown in the figures. Assume that friction can be ignored. Also assume that, in order for the cart to negotiate the loop safely, the normal force exerted by the track on the cart at the top of the loop must be at least equal to 0.5 times the weight of the cart. (Note: This is different from the conditions needed to "just negotiate" the loop.) You may treat the cart as a point particle.

a) For this part, the cart slides down a frictionless track before encountering the loop. What is the minimum height h above the top of the loop that the cart can be released from rest in order that it safely negotiate the loop?
h = m
——————————————————————————-
b) For this part, we launch the cart horizontally along a surface at the same height as the bottom of the loop by releasing it from rest from a compressed spring with spring constant k = 10000 N/m. What is the minimum amount X that the spring must be compressed in order that the cart "safely" (as defined above) negotiate the loop?
X = m
——————————————————————————-
c) When the car is descending vertically (ie at a height R above the ground) in the loop, what is its speed |v|?
|v| = m/s
——————————————————————————
d) At the bottom of the loop, on the flat part of the track, the cart must be stopped in a distance of d = 15 m. What average retarding acceleration |a| is required?
|a| = m/s2

What is a good seat restraint/ seat belt????????????best gets more points!!!!!!!!!?

 

What is a good seat restraint/ seat belt????????????
What is a good seat restraint/ seat belt????????????
i made a go cart and its made of wood kind of dangerous though it already crashed

it goes up to 38 mph and i need instructions or a cheap way to keep restrained like a seat belt by maybe using a couple old back pack straps and stuff

i have about 2.5 by 3 ft. space and a 2.25 by 2.25 ft seat

ideas would work just as well

thanks for the help

Parents, have you ever gone shopping with your kids and then?

 

got home and realized you paid for something your kids put in the cart w/o your knowledge? If so, what was it?
It was dental floss for us and he’s almost out so it’s hard for me to be mad, lol.

I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! I have PLANS 4 this!!! PLEASE LOOK!!!?

An air-track cart of mass 0.15 kg is moving with a speed 1.0 m/s to the right when it collides…?

 

with a cart of mass 0.22 kg that is at rest. Each cart has a wad of putty on its bumper, and hence they stick together as a result of their collision. Suppose the average contact force between the carts is 1.4 N during the collision.

a) How long does it take for both carts to have the same speed? (Once the carts have the same speed the collision is over and the contact force vanishes.)

b) What is the final speed of the carts, Vf ?

Please help with the steps and equations on how to go about figuring these out!!! I cant seem to get them..

Where to buy a Go cart?

Loop the Loop – physics?

 

The two problems below are related to a cart of mass M = 500 kg going around a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 15 m, as shown in the figures. Assume that friction can be ignored. Also assume that, in order for the cart to negotiate the loop safely, the normal force exerted by the track on the cart at the top of the loop must be at least equal to 0.8 times the weight of the cart. (Note: This is different from the conditions needed to "just negotiate" the loop.) You may treat the cart as a point particle.

Electric Motors for a small go cart?

 

I am working on restoring a small 70′s mower that I got from a neighbor, and I am wondering what kind of electric motor I would need to push maybe up to 250 pounds across some grass in the harshest conditions. What kind of parts would I need?

Here is a picture of what mine kinda looks like (Not that great, super rusty.) http://www.tractorbox.co.uk/forum/uploads/20071002_180156_mustang-front2.jpg

Would it be fair to take the kids to Disney World for two days without the spouse?

 

I’m in the same state as Disney World, but it’s still far, so if we go we’d need a hotel stay. Spring Break is coming up for our kids, and as you have read in my previous posts, my wife, an attorney, has been way overworked (averaging 65 hours a week) on a big case, and on weekends she just wants to veg out, sleep and eat. The case never ends. My hours are cake.

We do have an au pair, Krystka. Would it be wrong to take the kids to Disney midweek for a two-day Park Hopper, with Krystka (who has never been to Disney World and jumped up and down on her bed when I’d mentioned the idea this morning)? She’s sweet.

My wife wouldn’t miss much, anyway. She comes and goes in blurs lately, and frankly, it may be more fun without her complaining every five steps and bypassing rides for the bratwurst carts.

The kids have been to Disney plenty of times, so this is no “first,” and of course we would have separate, adjoining rooms, as you all have read way too much into the au pair situation!

bad driving test?

 

anyone else had bad driving test experiences? i failed for the second time today. i drive perfectly well on the road. i’ve had adults i know work with me on driving, and they all say there’s no reason i shouldn’t have my license.

the road test at the dmv office i went to (in titusville, florida) isn’t really a road test…it’s a small track, about the length of two houses in my neighborhood. the parking space on the test is nowhere near big enough to accommodate an SUV, lucky for me i have a compact car.

also, the examiners are real mean about it when you fail,lol. i can accept the fact that maybe i did mess up, but they could at least be nice about it, right?

altogether tho, im not going there again. id like to take a test that is actually a "road test," where i can show that i can drive. not on a dinky go-cart track.

so, anyone else have bad driving test experiences? id like to hear about them, and know im not alone!

Fallout New Vegas Quest Idea. Is it any good?

 

heres what i think would be cool: Like the time where u find dogmeat,u can find a trashed, rusted golf cart. it will be missing some parts that u can find by talking to the owner of the new scrapyard

Owner: Well, a Visitor! what is someone like you doing in a place like this?

You: i was just wondering around and noticed the flipped golf cart. Does it work?

Owner: that old thing? Na that hasnt been up and runnin in years.

You: Oh. Well that Sucks.

Owner: Hmm you seem like my kinda person. Let me make you an offer. THeres a Destroyed hardware store near here that might just have the parts you need to fix it yoursef. Or if your not too handy with a wrench you can bring me the parts and ill do it for ya, but that will cost extra.

You: How much are we talkin for the whole thing?

Owner: 1000 caps for the cart and lets say 100 caps for the repairs if you cant do it yourself. Now remember, you wont all the parts. just the important ones.

You: Sound like a deal. Now where is this hardware store?

Owner: Just north of here. You cant miss it.

You: Ok ill check it out. Thanks

You go into the hardware store and search the building for any useful parts such as these: Headlights, tires, a rusted trunk, sheet metal (to put onto the sides for some damage resistance while driving), bottle of nos(which can be found all over the wastlend much like ammo), and maybe some fluffy dice to hang on the mirror. You return with the parts and purchase the cart. You put hte parts together with the cart (repair skill 70) or pay the owner to put it together.

Owner: Youve made an old man happy seeing that peice of junk runnin again. Linsten, if it ever needs repairs, just drive it down here and ill repair it. no charge. Oh and heres a free bottle of NOS. you dont need it but it will give it a little kick. Try not to inhale any though, it will mess you up. now while your havin fun with your sweet ride, im guna go gamble my caps!

You: Hey wait is that trunk of any use?

Owner: sure is. it can hold some of your stuff. but dont overload it with all your stuff, that cart cant hold too much weight or it might just be goin so slow youd be faster walkin. id say 50 pounds is enough for a little thing like that.

You: ok cool ill remember that.

PERK: GOLF PRO: (intellegence 50 Repair 80) you have made permanent anhancments to your golf cart. It now can carry 100 pounds instead of 50 an any NOS bottle you find will last twice as long. you will also have a 20% chance to not get addicted to NOS.

NOS effects: Charisma + 50, intellegence – 30.

SO WHAT DO U GUYS THINK? GOOD OR BAD AND WHY?
