Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Which of the following do not affect the maximum speed that a car can drive in a circle? Choose both correct answers.
A rock is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius \(R\) with a constant period \(T\). If the radius of the circle is reduced to \(R/3\), while the period remains \(T\), what happens to the centripetal acceleration (\(a_c\)) of the rock?
An 80 kg person sits in a swing that goes around in a circle. The chain connecting the swing to the center of the ride is 8 m long and it makes and angle of 40° with the horizontal. What is the speed of the person going around in a circle?
In the figure above, the marble rolls down the track and around a loop-the-loop of radius \( R \). The marble has mass \( m \) and radius \( r \). What minimum height \( h_{min} \) must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off? Express your answer in terms of the variables \( R \) and \( r \).
A particle of mass \(m\) slides down a fixed, frictionless sphere of radius \(R\), starting from rest at the top.
In terms of \(m\), \(g\), \(R\), and \(\theta\), determine each of the following for the particle while it is sliding on the sphere.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
