But, isn't the magnitude of the force is equal to 3 times of the weight...where w is equal to mgPhanthomJay said:No, you must look at the net force acting on the passenger before applying Newton's laws. You only looked at one of the forces. What is the other?
Circular motion refers to the movement of an object along a circular path, where its speed and direction are constantly changing. In a roller coaster, this is achieved through the use of loops, curves, and turns.
Circular motion causes the riders to experience a sensation of weightlessness or "g-forces". This is because as the roller coaster car moves along the circular path, it is constantly changing direction, causing the riders to feel a force pushing them in different directions.
The speed of the roller coaster, the radius of the circular path, and the mass of the roller coaster car all influence the circular motion. The greater the speed and radius, the stronger the g-forces experienced by the riders.
Circular motion is achieved through a combination of gravity and centripetal force. Gravity pulls the roller coaster car towards the ground, while the track provides a centripetal force that keeps the car moving along the circular path.
Yes, safety is a top priority in the design and operation of roller coasters. The g-forces experienced by riders must be carefully calculated and controlled to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Additionally, safety restraints and design features, such as banked turns, are used to prevent accidents and keep riders safe.
