What will be the minimum speed of the roller-coaster so that the passenger at the top, when becomes upside down, does not fall out? Consider the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m s-2, and the radius of curvature of the roller coaster is 10 m.

  1. A 20 m s-1
  2. B 10 m s-1
  3. C 15 m s-1
  4. D 25 m s-1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 10 m s-1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now balancing the force at the top the centripetal force should be the same as the wight of the body, it means, mv2R=mg⇒v=gR, the values are given in the above question, R=10 m, it means, v=10×10=10 m s-1.
