8. Find the portion of the Force Factor vs. time graph that corresponds to the first loop (Points B, C, and D). a. Does the sign of the reading change during any portion of the loop? b. Does the direction of the normal force change during the loop? Explain. c. What is the sign of the Force Factor when you are upside-down? d. What is the direction of the normal force at that point? e. Compare your answers for c and d and explain. QUANTITATIVE QUESTIONS For the questions that follow, refer to the photo below that shows the first incline, the first drop and the first loop of Batman The Ride. Point A in the diagram is at the top of the first incline after the train has been pulled to the top. Point B is at the bottom of the first drop as the train enters the first loop. Point C is at the highest point on the first loop. 1.. Analysis of the train while being pulled from the station to the top of the first hill, point A. a. Measure the time for the train to pass any point on the incline. b. Determine the speed of the train as it is lifted to the top of the incline. The train is 12.0 m long. c. The mass of a fully loaded train is about 8,000 kg. How much kinetic energy does the train have at point A? d. If point A is 30m higher than point B, how much gravitational potential energy does the loaded train have at the top of the incline (point A)?
