Question

Why the cars in a roller coaster travelling through the loop doesn't travel in a uniform circular motion?

Answer 1

the cars in a Rollercoaster traveling through the loop doesn't travelling uniform circular motion because when they come down the gravitational force acts on them due to which the speed increases hope this helps you as when they go up to the loop the speed decreases

Answer 2

Answer:

Motion refers to the process of moving or being moved from one place to another. It essentially involves a change in an individual's initial position or posture.

An object is said to be in a uniform circular motion when it follows a circular track at a constant speed.

The cars in a roller coaster traveling through the loop don't travel on a uniform circular path but on elliptical tracks. The force in action is called the Centripetal force.

• Centripetal force is a force that enables an object to follow a circular path along its axis. The coaster's trucks are pushed towards the center of the roller coaster's loop by this force produced by the rails. Your body's equal and opposite reaction to this centrifugal force, also known as the centrifugal effect presses you into your seat.
• This inertia prevents you from falling out when you are turned upside down. When you are upside down, gravity continues to pull you toward the Earth, but inertia pushes you up against the roller coaster car's bottom. The pushing force is greater than the pull of gravity.
• A roller coaster's loop cannot be a perfect circle for safety reasons. If it were a perfect circle, the pressure exerted would be too great for safety.

Roller coaster loops are elliptical as a result. They have the appearance of elongated circles to ensure maximum safety.
