The passengers lie back on pads which line the interior of the chamber. These are all inclined at 62° to the horizontal.Each pad is mounted on a small track on the Gravitron wall.walltrackpad62°floorAs the Gravitron rotates faster and faster, a speed is reached where each pad rises up its track so that the passengerslose contact with the floor of the chamber.If the mass of a passenger is 80 kg, the normal contact force on the passenger is:

When a gravitron rotates with a sufficiently high speed, the pads rise above the ground and the net…

Caroline (45 kg) is riding looping roller coaster (radius = 15 meters) at Cedar Point. At the top of the loop she experlences an acceleration of 13.75 m/s/s. Use g310N/kg for the gravitational constant. Draw a force diagram of the forces acting on Caroline. Determine which force is larger-normal force of gravirational force? Why? What is the normal force of the seat on Caroline?
2) Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the normal force will not get too small, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the normal force on a passenger is equal to 3/4 of their weight? B minimum C maximum A
