MCQ
A roller coaster is designed such that riders experience "weightlessness" as they go round the top of a hill whose radius of curvature is $20\, m.$ The speed of the car at the top of the hill is between
  • A
    $16\ m/s$  and $ 17\  m/s $ 
  • B
    $13\  m/s$  and $14\  m/s$ 
  • C
    $14\ m/s$  and $15\  m/s$ 
  • D
    $15\  m/s$  and $ 16\  m/s$ 

Answer

$mg = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{R} $
$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt {Rg}$
$v = \sqrt {20 \times 10} $
$= \sqrt {200} $
$= 14.1\ m/s$
i.e,. Between $14 $ and $15\ m/s.$

A thin stiff insulated metal wire is bent into a circular loop with its two ends extending tangentially from the same point of the loop. The wire loop has mass $m$ and radius $r$ and it is in a uniform vertical magnetic field $B_0$, as shown in the figure. Initially, it hangs vertically downwards, because of acceleration due to gravity $g$, on two conducting supports at $P$ and $Q$. When a current $/$ is passed through the loop, the loop turns about the line $P Q$ by an angle $\theta$ given by
