15 In an amusement park ride a cart of mass 300 kg and carrying four passengers each of mass 60 kg is dropped from a vertical height of 120 m along a frictionless path that leads into a loop-the-loap machine of radius 30 m. The cart then enters a straight stretch from A to C where friction brings it to rest after a distance of 40 m. (See Figure 9.19.) Figure 8.19 For question 15. (a) Find the velocity of the cart at A. (b) Find the reaction force from the seat of the cart onto a passenger at B. ic) What is the acceleration experienced by the cart from A to C (assumed constant)?
