14. At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 3.2 m/s, and an 83-kg person feels a 560-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of the chamber?

3. A roller coaster is built so that there is a circular curve of radius 80.0 m at the top of one hill. The speed with which the car goes over the hill varies. Assume the passenger has a mass of 50.0 kg. The cars have wheels over and under the track so that it stays on and the passenger is wearing a seatbelt. a. If the speed is 20.0 m/s going over the top what is the force on the passenger? Force factor? Is the force from the seat or the belt?
2. A 50 kg person is sitting on a bathroom scale while riding on a Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel has a radius of 8 m. The scale reads 600 N when the person is at the bottom of the motion. Find the person's speed. 3. A 0.2 kg ball, attached to a string, is moving in a vertical circle.

7. Snoopy is flying his vintage war plane in a "loop the loop" path chasing the Red Baron. His instruments tell him the plane is level (at the bottom of the loop) and travelling with a speed of 180 km/h. He is sitting on a set of bathroom scales, and notes that they read four times the normal force of gravity on him. What is the radius of the loop? Answer in metres.

3. The mass of a spherical asteroid is 2.00x1022 kg and its radius is 2.00x10 meters. A space rock is 3.00x105 meters above the surface of the asteroid, and at that instant, the rock is moving directly toward the asteroid with a speed of 4.00x10³ m/s. The asteroid has no atmosphere. With what speed will the rock hit the asteroid if only the asteroid's gravity affects the rock?
An intergalactic spaceship arrives at a distant planet that rotates on its axis with a period of T = 31 hours. The mass of the planet is M = 2.1 • 1025 kg. The spaceship enters a circular orbit with an orbital period that is equal to the planet's period for the rotation about its axis, T. a. Enter an expression for the radius of the spaceship’s orbit. b. Calculate the orbital radius in meters.
