A small block slides without friction along a track toward a circular loop. The block has more than enough speed to remain firmly in contact with the track as it goes around the loop. The magnitude of the block’s acceleration at the bottom of the loop is: a)zero. b)greater than zero but less than g. c)equal to g. d)greater than g

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
