    Gravitron with greased walls - does the rider stay pinned or slide

    I've seen gravitons with vertical walls so tapered walls shed a whole new arena of possibilities. I am really not sure-- depends on the extent to which the velocity is escaping the gravity? What I feel is really stumping me in my endeavors for an answer here is the need for some fundamental...

    Gravitron with greased walls - does the rider stay pinned or slide

    A gravitron is moving at great speed. When the FLOOR drops away (greased to make friction negligible), does the person stay pinned to the wall or does the person slide to the bottom? If the walls were not greased, we know that centrifugal force pushes an individual against the wall, and the...
