Ignore friction and drag. A roller coaster with a mass of m starts from rest at a height of h above the ground. It rolls into a vertical loop with a radius of R. The normal force from the track when the roller coaster is at the highest point of the loop is Ntop- The minimum height the roller coaster can be released from -- and still make it around the loop -- is h min. N mg R Ignore friction and drag. A roller coaster with a mass of m starts from rest at a height of h above the ground. It rolls into a vertical loop with a radius of R.
