Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Using your knowledge of centripetal and centrifugal forces, explain the
forces felt by a person on an amusement park swinging chair ride.
Draw FBDs in your answer. Also explain why the people swing higher as
they go faster.
