Textbook Question

Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.1QQ

You are riding on a Ferris wheel that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation; it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward (c) impossible to determine (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?

Students have asked these similar questions

Race car driver is cruising down the street at a constant speed of 28.9 m/s (~65 mph; he has a “lead” foot) when the traffic light in front of him turns red. a) If the driver’s reaction time is 160 ms, how far does he and his car travel down the road from the instant he sees the light change to the instant he begins to slow down? b) If the driver’s combined reaction and movement time is 750 ms, how far do he and his car travel down the road from the instant he sees the light change to the instant he slams on her brakes and car begins to slow down? Please answer parts a-B. Show all work. For each question draw a diagram to show the vector/s. Show all the step and provide units in the answers. Provide answer to 2 decimal places. DONT FORGET TO DRAW VECTORS! ONLY USE BASIC FORMULAS TAUGHT IN PHYSICS. distance = speed * time.

Please answer parts a-c. Show all work. For each question draw a diagram to show the vector/s. Show all the step and provide units in the answers. Provide answer to 2 decimal places unless stated otherwise.…

How is it that part a is connected to part b? I can't seem to solve either part and don't see the connection between the two.
