Answer:
h = 1.5 m
Explanation:
This exercise must be solved using the concepts of energy.
Starting point. Place where the car leaves
Em₀ = U = m g h
Final point. Highest part of the loop, r = 2R
Em_f = K + U
Em_f = ½ m v² + mg (2R)
the energy is preserved
Em₀ = Em_f
m g h = ½ m v² + m g 2R (1)
the car must have a minimum velicate so that it does not fall, let’s use Newton’s second law.
∑ F = m a
N + W = m a
acceleration is centripetal
a = v²/ r
the normal is the reaction of the surface to the support of the car, as the speed decreases, the normal decreases until reaching zero
0 + m g = m v² / r
v² = rg
we substitute
v² = 2Rg
we substitute in equation 1
g h = ½ 2Rg + 2Rg
h = 3R
let’s calculate
h = 3 0.5
h = 1.5 m
