| 1 | \( mgh_{min} = KE_{translational} + KE_{rotational} + PE \) | Apply conservation of mechanical energy. The marble’s potential energy at height \( h_{min} \) will be the sum of its translational kinetic energy, rotational kinetic energy, and potential energy at the top of the loop. |
| 2 | \( KE_{translational} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \) | The translational kinetic energy of the marble at the top of the loop. |
| 3 | \( KE_{rotational} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 \) | The rotational kinetic energy of the marble at the top of the loop, where \( I \) is the moment of inertia and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity. |
| 4 | \( I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2 \) and \( \omega = \frac{v}{r} \) | For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia \( I \) is \( \frac{2}{5}mr^2 \). The angular velocity \( \omega \) is related to the linear velocity \( v \) by \( \frac{v}{r} \). |
| 5 | \( KE_{rotational} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5}mr^2 \times \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{5}mv^2 \) | Substitute the moment of inertia and angular velocity into the rotational kinetic energy formula. |
| 6 | \( PE = mg \times 2R \) | The potential energy at the top of the loop, where the height is \(2R\). |
| 7 | \( mgh_{min} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 + mg \times 2R \) | Substitute the equations for translational kinetic energy, rotational kinetic energy, and potential energy into the energy conservation equation. |
| 8 | \( mgh_{min} = \frac{7}{10}mv^2 + mg \times 2R \) | Combine the translational and rotational kinetic energy terms. |
| 9 | \( v^2 = gR \) | At the top of the loop, for the marble to just make it around without falling off, the centripetal force must equal the gravitational force, i.e., \( mg = \frac{mv^2}{R} \). Hence, \( v^2 = gR \). |
| 10 | \( mgh_{min} = \frac{7}{10}m \cdot gR + mg \cdot 2R \) | Substitute \( v^2 = gR \) into the energy conservation equation. |
| 11 | \( h_{min} = \frac{7}{10}R + 2R \) | Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by \( mg \). |
| 12 | \( h_{min} = \frac{27}{10}R \) | Combine terms to get the final expression for the minimum height \( h_{min} \). |
Therefore, the minimum height \( h_{min} \) must be \( \frac{27}{10}R \) or \( 2.7R \).
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."

A rubber ball bounces off of a wall with an initial speed \(v\) and reverses its direction so its speed is \(v\) right after the bounce. As a result of this bounce, which of the following quantities of the ball are conserved?
An object of mass 2 kg is thrown vertically downwards with an initial kinetic energy of 100 J. What is the distance fallen by the object at the instant when its kinetic energy has doubled?
A system consists of two small disks, of masses \( m \) and \( 2m \), attached to a rod of negligible mass of length \( 3l \) as shown above. The rod is free to turn about a vertical axis through point \( P \). The two disks rest on a rough horizontal surface; the coefficient of friction between the disks and the surface is \( \mu \). At time \( t = 0 \), the rod has an initial counterclockwise angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) about \( P \). The system is gradually brought to rest by friction. Develop expressions for the following quantities in terms of \( \mu \), \( m \), \( l \), \( g \), and \( \omega_0 \).
A block of mass 3.0 kg is hung from a spring, causing it to stretch 12 cm at equilibrium. The 3.0 kg block is then taken off and the spring returns to its original height. Now a 4.0 kg block is placed on the spring and released from rest. How far will the 4.0 kg block fall before its direction is reversed?
\( h_{min} = 2.7R \)

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]
