Harry Potter Broomstick Ride has just been opened at Wally-World in Orlando. A two-person cart is pushed back 3 meters into a large spring and then released from rest. The cart follows a track up over a hill that is 25m tall, around a loop-de-loop, and then comes to a stop on a level section of track. The track is "magically frictionless" for most of the ride, from the release point at A to point C. After point C, the track is rough such that the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk?=1.2. The mass of the cart with two riders is 300kg. The speed of the cart with two riders is found to be at point B. (a) Find the spring constant for the spring. N/m(±100N/m) (b) What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the track on the 300?kg cart (including riders) at point B ? N(±10N) (c) If the friction requires a distance of 20m to stop the cart (with two riders) at point D, what is the height H of the final level portion of track?
