you go to an amusement park with a friend and ride the gravitron. after you get on the ride the large chamber begins to spin and you feel a force pushing you against the wall. eventually the floor drops out from under you. you remain in place and do not fall. part 1: in terms of newtons laws of motion explain why you do not fall when the floor drops. name the 3 forces observed in this scenario (either on this system or on you.) part 2: you glance over and see your friend is slipping down the wall towards the hole in the floor. you notice that he is wearing a slippery windbreaker. explain why your friend is slipping downwards and not being held in place like you are.
