In part a, we're told to use energy conservation to determine the speed of the car at the top of the loop.
00:07
So we're given the mass, the diameter and the radius, and the velocity at the bottom.
00:14
So we can start off by calculating the kinetic energy at the bottom, which is 1 .5mvb squared.
00:20
If we plug in our values, we'll plug in 1ā2 .2 .2 .2.
00:26
And we get this number.
00:27
And we can also calculate the change in potential energy from the top.
00:31
To the bottom is mgd, or 938 times 9 .8 times 14 .2.
00:37
And we get 130532 joules.
00:40
So now we can apply conservation of energy.
00:44
Kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to kinetic energy at the top, plus the change of potential energy...
