Hey Im preety sure ( prediction) that in some way or form, theyre going to ask questions on it...as theres usually one EACH year.
Can anyone conclude all the types of questions ( style of questions), on Newtons seccond law EF=ma
Thanks VN,
naved_s9994 ;)

Please anyone...
relative questions to it, or even banked curve?
-
What the fuck do you mean by EF=ma??
-
What the fuck do you mean by EF=ma??
Net force?
-

Lol.
is what he meant.
-
ahhhk lol, my head is screwed from all these practice exams

Your standard
, or something along those lines...
Or in circular motion,
etc etc?

That's when you're only at the top of the loop, isn't it?

no thats the bottom, top is Fnet = N - mv^2/r
-
No, Gloamglozer is correct, that is the net force at the top.

er what? my teacher gave a handout that says Weight is the highest at the bottom.

Inside loop:
Top: F net = N + mg (points towards the same direction)
Bottom: F net = N - mg (points upwards, N > mg)
Outside loop:
Top: F net = mg - N (points downwards)

ye i meant when its outside the loop

Thanks for the confirmation, Mao. :D

Interesting thing about circular motion in the vertical direction outside of the loop:
At top:
gravitational attraction downwards
normal reaction force by surface on object upwards
Net force = mg - N = Fc, points downwards towards center of circle
At bottom:
gravitational attraction downwards
normal reaction force by surface on object downwards
Net force = mg + N, points downwards AWAY from center of circle :. circular motion not possible.

AWAY? I'm lost now. grrr. i need more vertical questions.

is that wrong?

That is correct.

Are these forces with or without a direction??
So is:
Top: F net = N + mg, N subtract mg (because opposite direction).
F net = N - mg, N subtract the negative of mg. (i.e. adding mg to N)
Outside loop:
Top: F net = mg - N,..............(i don't even know what way to explain this lol)
I just tend to use intuition for these really......... but can anybody explain this?

When you are on the top:
Let up be negative and down be positive.
Since forces are vectors, they are all pointing down hence they are all positive: We have 
When you are on the bottom.
Let up be positive and down be negative.
Normal force is acting up,
is acting up, mg is acting down:

-
Ahhhh ok so you use those "formulas" with the absolute value of N and mg, correct?

Yeap, then just put the +/- sign depending on the direction.
So if you are on the bottom:
(lol...)
-
Lolll, I take it you mean depending on where you are in the circle? (lets not confuse direction with position now haha)
But yes, I get it now.
-
lol kurry muncher, what the heck...anyways.. !!
umm, yea thanks everyone...CLEARED it all up

So is that if you are outside of the circle when at the bottom, so you are upside down and there is no possibility of a centripetal force?

Well, If the car was a N magnet and you placed some S magnet in the centre, or place some really large planet above the hoop, or maybe have a favourable ammount of upward wind on that day then maybe you could :P. But if the the only two forces are the Normal Reaction force of hoop and gravity of earth and car then no because they always act down in this situation and the centre is above you so obviously a centripetal force would have to be upwards.
