The quickest way to lose weight is to put yourself in free fall. In the thrill ride shown, the rider is spun in a circle at just the right speed so as to feel weightless at the top. This means that the rider's centripetal acceleration has the value g = 9.8 m/s? at the top. A) What is the period of rotation of the wheel? The wheel's radius is given in the picture. B) Draw a simple diagram of the rider's trajectory in space. At the top of the trajectory, draw and label vectors for the rider's velocity and acceleration. (picture is not to scale!) R = 15 meters INSTANT WEIGHT LOSS!

Question
1 The quickest way to lose weight is to put yourself in free fall. In the thrill ride
shown, the rider is spun in a circle at just the right speed so as to feel weightless at
the top. This means that the rider's centripetal acceleration has the value g =
9.8 m/s? at the top.
A) What is the period of rotation of the wheel? The wheel's radius is given in the
picture.
B) Draw a simple diagram of the rider's trajectory in space. At the top of the
trajectory, draw and label vectors for the rider's velocity and acceleration.
