Sliding around a Vertical Loop
Physics Education, v57 n6 Article 065016 Nov 2022
A loop-the-loop experiment usually involves a ball rolling around a vertical loop. A different version of the experiment is described where a nut was allowed to slide around a vertical loop. In both experiments there is a large decrease in kinetic energy when the ball or the nut first enters the loop.
