A 1400 kg coaster cart starts at rest on a blazing fast loop-De-loop track. The initial height of the track at the starting point is H = 35 m measured from the ground as shown. The loop on the track has a diameter of 16 m and friction is negligible on all parts. (a) Determine the force of the wheels of the car when it is upside down at the top of the loop. N. (b) Determine the minimum speed of the coaster at the top of the loop such that it will continue in circular motion around the loop. m/s (c) Based on the answer to part (b), determine the minimum initial height (measured from the ground) that the coaster could be released from and still successfully negotiate the loop in circular motion. m (d) Using the initial height of 35 m (originally provided in the problem), the coaster is released and travels around the loop. After successfully negotiating the loop, the coaster moves up the curved ramp located after the loop (as shown) and is launched into the air as a projectile. The coaster cart follows a parabolic trajectory as it fly's through the air. Compared to the initial release height of 35 m, the maximum height reached by the coaster after it leaves the ramp and travels in projectile motion will be: O The same as than the initial release height More than the initial release height O Less than the initial release height Figure A 1400 kg coaster cart starts at rest on a blazing fast loop-De-loop track.
