Today: His Model Car Does a Loop
Tomorrow: His UH-60 Black Hawk
Tristan is designing a frictionless loop for his model car.
On a level section of the track, his model car presses into the track with force F.
Inverted at the top of the loop, his model car presses into the track with force F.
The height of the loop is precisely 1.4906832 feet.
Acceleration due to gravity G is 32.2 feet per second squared.
How fast V should Tristan’s model car be going when it initially enters the loop?
V = ______ feet per second
