Non-Uniform Circular Motion

[Vincezor]

I was wondering if anyone could confirm these formulas are correct?

At top:
-Outside loop:    
-Inside loop:   

At Bottom:   


Cheers,

Vincezor

Not sure about Inside loop when at the top but others correct

Fc being Centripetal force?

Fc being Centripetal force?

Yep

[yawho]

speed determines T/F

[talons]

Yes its correct

[b^3]

Not sure about Inside loop when at the top but others correct

Yeh isn't it fnet=N+W insdie the top of the loop?
since gravity is acting down and the normal is down aswell since the track is above you or is that not correct?

[yawho]

at the top those equations are correct at low speed. They are wrong at high speed.

At the bottom, you need equations for inside and outside. It is correct for inside.

I don't get what you mean :S. How is it possible to be 'outside' at the bottom of a loop?

[yawho]

consider a plane doing a vertical circle upsidedown at the bottom

[hakke]

wat do u mean by inside loop/outside loop? as in inside/outside of the circle?

[b^3]

yes outside the circle, inside loop is like the cart in a rollercoaster track where as outside the look is like going over a speed bump.

[Vincezor]

at the top those equations are correct at low speed. They are wrong at high speed.

At the bottom, you need equations for inside and outside. It is correct for inside.

Could you explain a bit further? Even better, do you have examples/formulae for each instance?

come again??

Yeh is it N=Fc+Fg inside at the top?

And what is the equation for outside the circle at the bottom?

Edit: I think that the equations are:
Top:
Outside: n=Fg-Fc
Inside: N=Fc-Fg (or is it Fc+Fg?)
Bottom
outside:N=Fc-Fg
inside:N=Fc+Fg
